I beleive it is more for comraderie than about bragging rights. Bankwalker, I don't think anyone on either of the 2 earlier Flotillas will enter the fishing hall of fame you mention. If I remember correctly less than 10 total fish have been caught between the two Flotillas combined. I do however think most "competitors" had fun. If you feel they are B.S. because you fish the bank and have 15 boats go by where you are fishing, I can understand that. The Satsop probably wouldn't be where I would bank fish October 6th, unless I was joining in the Flotilla activities.
