Thank you for posting this up etrout.This is such a great idea. I live near Floyd Lamb and fish it often so I feel inclined to post.
After reviewing the payouts for adults I was surprised to not see bigger payouts for the top 3 prizes. Tons of people will show up for this event and a good percentage will buy-in at the gate for $80.
Let’s say 30 adults enter (low estimate) that is $2,400 and 1st place is $250 after registration fee that leaves $170. 3rd place is $75 after registration fee it is breakeven. The numbers don’t add up! Where does the rest of the money go?
I totally get this is a family fun fishing tournament and the hosts have expenses. My family 2 adults and 2 children would cost $164 if I register early. I just don’t see any value in fishing the tournament after looking at payouts. The only thing that gets me excited is the Nebraska Tailwalkers. Also no mention how many and how much tagged fish are.
