Entry fee for this one was $6500 and bet across the board in the calcutta would run around another 45k, but not many people do that. Most try to put their money where the best return is while having a cap on how much they want to put up. For a lot of teams, 20K for each the big five tournaments along with entry fee is what they budget. Got to remember, these are multi millonaires with boats that cost up to $12 million. What. The. Hell? I had no clue that kind of money was involved. And people are saying hunting is expensive?? If I had and extra 55K sitting around, practically every debt my wife and I have would be gone and they are dropping that on a weekend of fishing? I must be doing something wrong!! Lol Dr. B Benji, There is a family in Montgomery ( damn fine one too ) that you know of that is in the commercial real estate development business and they fish these type of tournaments. They have a beach home on Gulf Shore drive in Destin and the guest / boat house on the canal. A couple of years ago they upgraded from a 54 foot boat to a 68 foot Hatteras. Problem was the canal was to narrow for Captain Harold to park the yacht in the boat house. So the family bought the vacant lot that was for sale on the other side of the canal directly behind them and the city of Destin then widen that area of the canal so the boat could then make the turn into the boat house. They also have one of the finest hunting properties in this state. Wynsong
