It seems like the people that have negative things to say have never put on a tournament or even helped out to work one, So here is what goes on tournament day.

Tournament Day: wake up at 2:00am load everthing up(tables, chairs, tents, scales, raffle, tape, boards, banners, weigh-in tanks, baskets, Ect........
Then set everything up by 4:00am so negative people don't have anything to say.
Then check live wells and tie ribbons on every boat, sign-in, help with parking, help with ramp, ect........
Then pack everything back up till the afternoon.
Then set everything back up in the afternoon before anyone gets back to weigh-in so negative people don't have anything to say again.
Then weigh-in everyones fish with the help of weigh-in tanks and people everywhere helping through the whole process.
Ect........
Then after everyone is gone and done having fun we are there loading everything back up and unloading everything for the next tournament.
Then we come to a message and all we hear is "negative people" taking about how it could of been better or they made money or they should of done this or should of done that or he cheated.
If you are going to complain,go away and don't fish tournaments we don't need you and I have never seen a complainer win.
Sincerly,

With all do respect you guys do a great job on tourny days,but please tell us who is complaining,besides yourself.That was the most negative fishing report i've ever heard.Unfortunetly there are sore sports in all competitions.They know who they are,why stir it up?

Are you complaining? If so, why stoop to there (the complainers) level? There not going anywhere so ignore them!

I never complain, I am just explaining to all the people in the recent posts that have been knocking every tournamentand I would like them to know what it takes to put one on!
If you notice I always put my name and my email every single time I post so everyone knows who is talking and who I am.

If your not a complainer than this post doesn't pertain to you and have fun fishing tournaments.

who was complaining about those who run the tournaments ? they were complaining about getting their butts handed to them ;not whos running the events.

I have to disagree with Roy on this one , a bunch of post have been neg. towards the winning teams and how much one team should be aloud to win before all hell breaks out but as a fellow director and tournament fishermen I can say after the King Series ended a bunch of fishermen expressed how much the loved the trail and cant wait till next year , and even some bystanders said they enjoyed watching all the weigh ins , I heard the same about your opens Freds Opens and Lukes Night Owls and others , your always going to have someone say you should of done this or that and you have to adjust to what you think is right. I had to make some of the toughest calls this year and it's not easy to please everyone and yes even some fishermen act as if they are just there for the money and show no good will towards the director and the help but all in all I think the teams really care about the opens at Holiday . as far as winning and loosing thats another story that will never go away............BLM

Here is some food for thought! not sur eif anyone figured this one out yet or not! Forsell won the Gambler bait ONLY Tourny with 27 lbs and the kings of the glades with 33 lbs! hmmmm wonder who's bait he is using to catch those fish?

they did have over a 9lb kicker fish which makes a huge difference

might have made a huge difference but take that 9lber out and replace it with a regular 5 or 6 lber like im sure he culled and you still have 29-30lbs!
