Steven Ladner Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 What's the most you guys have won from a tournament? Doesn't matter if it's a small club tourney or a large one. Quote
squid Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I have given out more than I won.... In a small tournament, winning 1st place I think my buddy and I won just under $200. In a tournament that I put on I paid out 90% with a total of $952 total payout for 14 boats Quote

Steven Ladner Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 1977 Ranger W/140 Johnson That's just as good as cash, I like those tourneys that will give you a nice rig instead ;D Quote

I won a 15' Raycraft boat on a trailer as a third place boat years ago, there was no motor on the rear. Just the boat & trailer, nothing else. Quote
1inStripes Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 $50 in the only "tourney" I have participated in. The Dinkmasters Classic as documented on here last year. Its about time to defend the crown. Quote
mase088 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 $255 check, a self-inflating revere life jacket, and a power-pole pro 8 ft model for second place in a collegiate tournament. Quote
RobbyZ5001 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 $33 in a panfish tournament. 10 panfish for 6.5lbs ;D Quote
rfrazier Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 $3,000 in FLW college fishing, but most of it goes to our club team. Quote

Super User Tin Posted June 4, 2009 Super User Posted June 4, 2009 $1400 in a Weekend Series win and $1300 last weekend. Wish we had more boats in our tourney's. Most tourneys around here are 15-20 boat get togethers where everyone just throws in $20 or $30 so first will only take $300-$400. But I usually win a bunch of those a year. Quote

Tin, take a little vacation down here for a week. Bass Champs, Bass-N-Bucks average from 175-225 boats and a lot of the others will average over 100. Entry fees are less than 300.00 and they pay out either a boat or around 20-25 grand for first. tons of fun but you better have your game on. Quote
Super User Tin Posted June 4, 2009 Super User Posted June 4, 2009 Sounds like some fun. The big thing is our lakes cannot support much more than they already do. Fishing is steadily declining in a lot of lakes because of too many tournaments. The tournament I won last weekend had 36 boats on just 87 acres. Everyone wants to just fish local. No one wants to travel, even Lake Champlain only draws 80 boats at most on the Weekend Series and that is a nice one day $300 entry tournament. Quote
Mottfia Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 $1500 twice. We don't have large tournaments (50- 70 boats in major tournaments) but the payout is pretty good in my opinion. Mottfia Quote

I was thinking about fishing a couple weekend series tournies and some BFLs next year. Quote
