Thanks Guys I am really looking forward to fishing Lewis and Clark here in a couple of weeks. I have yet too fish the lake in my life, so it should be a great learning experince and the money looks like it is going to be HUGE!!
It was a tough year for the NWT Jason. I believe there were somewhere around 25 teams that fished all four tounaments but I don't know the exact number. With that being said, the payouts this year were AWESOME and I hope that the NWT countinues on this course of paying teams well that do well. I had a lot of fun this year, though I missed some off the familiar faces that I had come accustomed to on the trail
Zach, I think the economy has had a large impact on fishing in general. Look at the job cuts at the major boat companies and less than full fields on the pro tour and local events. People have much less disposable income these days.
