Congratulations Rich and Mike great win and to all the others that placed, way to go.
I was looking at the amount of money that the [url "http://www.utahfishingevents.com/faq.html"]first place team[/url] won with the largest wiper added in, that is a nice chunk of money. It seems to me that in most cases, maybe not all, the team that wins the tournament will always win the largest wiper pot. Who knows for sure what will happen next year but it seems to me that it would be better to spread the money around and give someone else a chance at winning some cash. I like Lunkerhunter2 idea of giving a prize for the largest catfish but since there is such a large population of smallmouth and crappie in Willard, I would think the contestants for next year should decide what the third big fish should be. I know there are a lot of bass fishermen on this site so I was thinking it might add a little more interest in next years contest. It seems that a point was made this year by having a walleye big fish winner, so adding one more species of big fish would be a good idea and it would gives others a chance to get in on the fun. This would mean taking away the biggest wiper prize but like I said the prize for the team with the two best wipers is a huge chunk of money anyway.
I would like to hear what others think about this idea.
