I was at the tournament along with a couple buddies. What I can say is it was a fair tournament from the standpoint the holes were predrilled. I have never fished Starvation and not done well. The only holes available after we checked in were in 97 feet of water and zero fish. Our three didn't ice a fish during the 4 hr tournament. We did manage some rainbows and walleye once it ended by simply moving 500yds from the tournament area.
I was speaking with a DWR officer after the tournament ended as he approached us to check snowmobile registration etc...he stated "we explained to tightlines outdoors this was the worst possible place to hold this tournament and hardly any fish would be caught." He the said the response from tightlines outdoors was, "that's ok we only need 30 fish." This does bother me in the sense these guys were content on very few fish being caught which means you really did need to get lucky.
All in all we had a great time. The weather was excellent and the fishing was great once the tournament ended. Congratulations to the prize winners!
