Random quote: Tough crowd, muskie fishermen. Especially late at night. Seems that a toddy or two detaches reason from the average angler.

What About a Pro Am type of event??? Pro= Boat Owner and Pays out 2,500 and Am pays out 800.
Total for each prize would be 30 (Pros) at 2,500= 75k
Am's would be 800 for a total of 24k.
Total of 4 days of fishing and the Top 10 from both Catagories fish on the last day.
The AMs get paired up with different Pros each day and the there will be no cheating....I think that would be cool

So does that mean Keyes won't be covering the PMTT? Or are you just doing it in conjunction with them?

'We will be providing coverage of the PMTT this season, brought to you by St. Croix Rods. I am looking forward to that, should be fun to point our cameras at Muskie anglers again.'

I don't mean to sound closed-minded and I love "thinking big", but this is muskie fishing, not the Tarpon of Boca Grande. I think a lot of great "blue collar" muskie anglers would have a hard time paying a $3000-$5000 entry fee. You can call it "The Best of the Richest" tournament.

As a tournament angler, I don't care about payouts. I do it because it's fun to be competitive while doing something that I love. It's like a drug... catching a fish in a tournament... whether there's $200 or $20,000 on the line (okay, maybe my heart pumps a little harder when it's 20K). I'm sure other people see it differently, but that's the pure reasoning behind every tournament I've entered... that moment when she hits the net.

Just a middle-class angler's opinion...

Reality: Once the money gets that big you really need to have randomly placed judges in every boat. Guys have cheated for a whole lot less and more than once. And the only way you know is when they actually get caught...think about that.

It's too bad but thats how it is

Properly staged it would be fun....like Happy says...not a softball league if its big time
