Who gets the 10% a charity?

10% maybe for his time and effort. 10% is not a lot. The only problem I have is the payout. 1 to 15 entries pays 1st and big bass; 16 to 31 entries pays 1st, 2nd, and big bass; 32 plus entries pays 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and big bass. The payouts are not great but then if I don't like it I won't fish it.

10% is for consistency. Calibrated scales and someone that will show up every week. This is basically end of year weekly Tourn. Same people fish the weekly tourn from daylight savings in spring. Till late in summer. Juan just made it a open. Pay out is from the weekly tourn. We will fish Wensday night tourn. And then sat night will be the final tourn of the year. If I didn't explain that well enough. Hope that will help!

sorry I meant to say the payouts are not great. To far for me to drive for 1 and 15 payout

Look close guys , this is a NIGHT tournament .

The bass are biting great on Gilmer when it gets dark, this tournament will produce some big weights. Also the door prizes are gonna be nice.
