Yep, so far in my pro career I am about $200,000 in the hole. I did win a big fish tournament last week and won $360, I'm digging my way out.....

Forget it, when you start adding up that cost you will go into a hole too.  Golf, fishing, bowling, any type hobby is a money hole. The difference at least to me is the money I do spend on it is worth the enjoyment of doing it. The tangible part is where the value is for me.

Come to the dark side and get a Hobie Pro Angler. LOL  No registration, no trailer, no gas, very little maintenance. Seriously, I started to feel the same way and sold my Skeeter and bought a couple Hobies (PA for me and Outback for my son). There are times that I miss the Skeeter, but 97% of the time I greatly enjoy slowing down and keeping it relatively simple.
