| What do you guys hijack all the mailtrucks from MN that following day? Maybe if I send it in a beer truck it would get a police escortLOL

Moreyes, we got borders to keep you MN guys out.  Mercury Nats fills fairly quick with locals. It's a big festival, part of why you see all WI names. But there is no rule that keeps you out. The only requirement is you must have Mercury motors on your boat. |

| More than likely, I will not be fishing the FLW League again this year. I loved the schedule last year, and do not like it this year. Two tournaments on the same, big water with gas prices most likely at an all time high just makes it not worth it.
If anyone is looking for a partner for the Merc Nats, let me know. I have to blow some vacation days on fishing somehow... I have Mercs on my Lund.

Location: Manitowoc, WI | The FLW Tour, the WI FLW League, The Fox River Classic, and some SWC events. This will be my last year of tournament fishing so I'm fishing just the ones I like instead of committing to events I really don't want to fish. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | Loueye,
There are many other things in life I want to do. Fishing is at or near the bottom of a long list. I donate alot of my time to charity work and things I can make a positive impact on. I've also found many disappointing characters associated with tournaments and I want to distance myself from that, but I made committments to some great people for 2008, so I plan to finish what I started. |

Location: Berlin | Man Jerry, it is funny how things work. I have said the EXACT same thing and have heard the exact same thing from so many people. Every year it is something else and alot of time it is by people you least expect. Last year was no exception. It drains on you and slowly you get worn out. After much reflection I realized that I started to hate the sport I used to love so much. Funny what money and competition can do to people. Of course rising costs and other politics had a lot to do with it as well.
If you are like me, you will eventually get back into it but not at the same level. I had forgotten how fun fishing was and it sure is nice to remember again. Good luck I hope you are able to remember the good things and when the time is right get back into it and enjoy it for what it is. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | I believe you Rich.....I'm sure there are more tournaments in my future after this year. But, as far as fishing a major circuit and dedicating a large portion of my time to it, this is it for me. I will always plan to fish the Fox River Classic and the SWC events, as they are events that allow me time to get together with friends. And yes, I've heard these same things from others who had the opportunity to deal with some of the individuals involved in the major circuits. It's disappointing to have that element involved, but when large amounts of money are at stake, people react in many different ways. |
