Interesting sample data. It's still skewed. Bass Camps draws around 200. TTO draws around 50. Haven't looked at what TTT typically attracts. Looks like TTZ will have a reasonable dilution of the other trails. Media, Bud Light, and others are bigger than expected in the Other category. We'll see if things change with more data.

Even though Media only draws a handful of anglers that have a ton of divisions so overall across all their divisions they draw more anglers than probably any other tournament across the south. I may be wrong but I would venture to say that's accurate.

Champs is 200 in Central and South and 300+ North and East. Texas Team Trail pulling 250-300 easy.

How on earth do you get 200+ boats to launch their boats at the ramp in time for a sunrise start??

Depending on the takeoff location, some tournaments allow launching at other ramps. Otherwise show up several hours before takeoff.

It's easy when everyone knows what they are doing.

I may be wrong but I would venture to say that's accurate. I haven't verified this at all but let's take a stab at it. Say Media has 30 divisions pulling an average of 40 boats (likely less) that's 1200 total teams, 2400 anglers. Add another 1000 anglers for one offs, teams that cherry pick and their Open events and you're at 3400. Round that to 4000 anglers which is a stretch and I don't think that would qualify them as the largest tournament trail in the South. Sealy get's that at one event. Anyone who has real numbers feel free to correct.

I'd like to personally invite you all to fish the Cowboy BFL this year. The regional is at the Red River in 2017!
