Has anyone ever attended a PAA tournament? I plan on going to one in October, and was wanting to know what I should expect. Would it be similar to attending a Bassmaster event?

I went to the one last year on Lake conroe. Carry a pocket full of money. Lots of company booths selling their products. Enjoyed the weighin and the crowds were great. You should enjoy it.

Autographs were available if you want one. Each pro went through the weighin and then entered a line to meet the crowd. I didn't get down to where they were signing, just saw a lot of people in that area and they seemed to being enjoying themselves.

good luck

I was at the one on Toledo Bend during pre-fish which to me is more fun than the actual tournament.

Ok cool guys, thanks! Catt, if you don't mind measking, why do you enjoy the pre-fishin'g part of it more than the actual tournament? Less of a crowd?
