The one thing I knew I would struggle the most with having a bad tournament was having a co-angler. These guys pay to fish a tournament out of the back of someone’s boat. They are at the mercy of the draw and my guy got the bad end of it. I know that’s what they sign up for but I just hate disappointing people. He was a good guy and I didn’t charge him any gas money. He insisted on paying some but I insisted on nothing. He said that I’m the first boater to ever turn it down. It’s just my opinion but if you’re a boater and don’t find any fish for the tournament then you should be very lenient on the gas money.
