Start by saying CONGRATS to everyone in last weeks PRO-AM
 
To me it’s about who you’re fishing against, could anyone go out there and win - yes. It’s about the odds and only that. I'm sure there's times a weekend fisherman caught bigger and more fish than a captain, but if I were to place a bet - my take will always be to bet with a captain. I'm sure I will come out a winner.
The numbers in last week’s tournament should sum everything up. There were 7 spots were paid out in the Classic Division - 6 of them were Captains. Sorry those odds tell me to keep my $. Take a look back to prior years; this was not something out of the ordinary. I'm not telling anyone they should or shouldn't fish; I'm just sharing my thoughts on how the Niagara tournaments are balanced.
I hope this tournament lives on for another 30 years; it’s always hard to get everyone to agree ESPECIALLY when it comes to MONEY..........
