please guys lets just let it go. i promise there are alot of people that will not fish no trail out there when there is a bunch of bashing or what ever you call it. one thing about showing the payout is people get to looking at the sponsors you have then they start looking at the $$$ you take in, then they say dang someone is getting rich. i know personally not too many people will ever get rich on t-ment trails. there is alot of work in t-ments specially when you get over 25 boats or more so you need to make something plus all the expenses. the guys that fished with me knew exactly what i made, for instance $160.00 entry .1) 10.00 went into my pocket. 2)10.00 went to big fish. 3) 10.00 to AOY 4)10.00 to classic pot 5) to the places to be paid 1 in 5. i supplied a chart on the morning of the t-ment and it had the number of boats all the way to 250 and it showed how many places to be paid and how much each place would get.
this way a team could blast off knowing how much they stood to win. they knew what i made and what went where. if i had 50 boats then i went home with 500.00 in my pocket. most of my expenses was paid thru sponsor on the brochure( polygraphs, gas,help,food,lodging should i need it)the only complaint i ever had out of 100 t-ments or more and 8 years was on boat #'s during a sunday pot t-ment, this was due to the fact i had 2 locations to sign up and i was not contacted by my 2nd location on boat #1 . i fixed it quick i blasted them off 2 at a time.
I AM NOT, REPEAT NOT saying i know everything about t-ments but i have a great REP with t-ment anglers, and have been approached by some major league trails about running there t-ments. point is i like to fish them more than i like to run them. i am simply trying to help yall build your trails bigger.try and manage your coments and help one another out whenever possilbe.

I think I have a solution that would make it fair. Keep the enrty fees that same for one or two person teams. But only allow one angler to fish at a time for the 2 man teams. That way the number of lines in the water at any given time will be the same ONE. 
I don't get serious till I fire up my Big Johnson.
