A big chunk of those kids DO have their own boats now. Mom and dad bought them a $150,000 rig to chase the dream when they graduated high school. They have no job but they have mom and dad's credit card. They literally spend almost every day on the water. They travel the entire US fishing tournaments. These are the kids that are out there beating all the old guys. They are out there throwing a minnow at fish in 60ft of water, and win a fair amount doing it. They are the reason that when you look at tournament results on Rayburn, the names that we all got accustomed to seeing in the top 10 in virtually every single tournament on that lake are now in the bottom half or chose to not even enter the tournament. As a person having college aged kids, you would be shocked at how accurate I am on the description I just gave. Not sure what the end game is for many of these kids. They are amazing fishermen but are starting to figure out that making a true living in bass fishing is basically impossible for all but a very select few. I guess they fish until mom and dad take the card away. The bass fishing world has turned into quite the odd culture when you take a good honest look at it. I think the high school and junior fishing leagues have taken the place of the co angler as a learning tool. These kids get out of high school and they are ready to go win. It's a crazy new world.

i think we should be happy for some who has a mediocre 150k rig..... cause 200k is the norm, which we should all be happy about too.

All co angler tournaments should be mandatory co-ed draw format.
