Tournament fishing is just plain fun. I think most folks just like competition and when you team that with something you love doing, it's just a fun deal. The problem is, they think their time on the lake is more important than yours. Fishing in "their" spot with your family, be prepared to be crowded out. That's after they do 90mph and then set their boat down right beside you, washing you all over the damn place. It's not all of them, not even the majority for that matter, but it's enough to get folks to hate tournaments and tournament fisherman.
