Less than full field again but it gets back to the piss poor payout. The fishermen are fishing for their own money. Total entry fees 132,000 and payout 135,000. Great job with all that sponsor money flw it's all about the fishermen yea right

They still paid more than 100% nobody else doing that. And would have been a boat prize if first was ranger cup.

They dont do it for free. They got to make a living and have expenses as well.

In a down economy at that level it's hard to get enough sponsor money to even run the event. 100%+ pay back isn't bad at all.
The Ranger Cup money is all about selling Ranger Boats. No sponsors are putting up the money as a charitable contribution. Add the boat and first place pays pretty good.
The Everstart Series isn't one you can make a living on. It's a mid level circuit.

You say they paid out more then they brought in and are upset?
Am I missing something?
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life you�re living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.
