Every Saturday we have a lil tournement during the summer until the big tournements happen during the fall threw spring. It's a group of guys that realy have the fish at heart. The turn out was decent we had 15 boats blasting off at safe light. It was a great day on the water the big fish was on fire everywhere. Everyone caught some realy nice fish. On the way in to the weigh in we all notice a bunch of dead fish in the canal. There's a elevating boat business in this canal and they come threw there with borges and pilot boats. Still not sure how all those fish died though. When we got to the launch we all decided that we could not release these fish here in this canal to die so three guys volunteered to bring the fish back to the lake and release them there. I was glad to see all those fish released back in the lake but it sucked to see the ones that were dead already. It's nice to see a group of guys that care enough about the sport and fish to take the time out to take care of it/them. Besides the winning sack was a lil over 21 lbs with the rest not far behind. It wouldn't have been pretty to see all those 4 and 5 lbers floating.

I just felt like I should post something positive about tournements instead of all the negatives you here about.  

Good deal, man.

I'm actually going to my first tournament on the 30th of this month.  All this negativity was turning me off a bit (just a bit though, not enough not to go), it's great to hear something good this time around.
