I haven't fished a tournament before. The high entry fee's and 100 boats competing seriously intimidated me. When I heard it was only $50.00 per fisherman and limited to a 20 boat field I figured this would be the place to get my feet wet. I've been catching Tigers on Tapps for 4 years now with a 4 footer being my largest. I know how to get them to bite so my chances are probably a little better than average of taking some money home. Even if I don't, my partner is my son so it will be a great day anyway.
