Blaine, have you considered allowing entries to be submitted by email? I know I personally would have entered both pike and walleye, but the 1+ hour drive to the shop (more for some CT guys) can be a deterrent. I know that requiring in-person submissions gets people into the shop which is good for business, but if e-mail submissions means more interest in the tournament and more entries to display, maybe it could work out? just a thought.
