Now that it's over, what does everyone think of the new format??? I think its great that anyone in any category can win.. Two of my buddies caught fish big enough to get themselves in the final draw, one of which has never had a fish on the board.. At the end of sunday, he was 15K richer Could have been anyone, (but I'm glad it was him) and I think it will draw more people to the derby.. Great job by the Rotary... Of course this is my Opinion, and wanted to see what others think?
only 5k tickets sold....isn't it usually like 16k? it was different not sure how i feel about it ....
I didnt like it from the start. Probably never will. Everytime the subject comes up I will kick the horse again. Congrats to your buddy though. Hope they change it to biggest overall fish.
come on now swampy you know it is the better way to go. Hope you are feeling better. The mind is like a ship at sea it will sail right when in calmer weather so will your thinking improve when you are feeling good. looks like you still have a little touch of the flu LOL.
Well all I can say is I hope all you fellas that thought you had this won with your 8 dozen shiners and your 6 traps are rolling in all the prize money!!
Maybe they should do it so the biggest fish in each category wins a couple grand. With some smaller prizes for 2nd-5th place. Kind of not a big fan of the lottery thing.
That would be better. The second biggest of any catagory should NEVER win any derby. Which is what happened this year.
so let me get this right?the second biggest fish "WON" the derby?What did the biggest fish win?wow ? great derby!Why call it a derby if the biggest fish doesn't win?lls
I'm a little torn....sorta like the new format but don't like that the 2nd largest in 1 out of many categories takes 15K. It does give more people a chance to win; however, at the very least, the largest fish in each category for the weekend should have been entered for the grand prize. Not the largest each day IMO. Furthermore, since there are so many species, they should spread the $ around more and pay evenly to the top fish in each category if they are not going with the largest fish overall and especially since they've gone to an all cash payout. Have grand prize winners in each species division. I would like to see that as my first option since the largest overall really does make it just a laker derby for the most part and crowds the bigger lakes.
I suppose if the rules are clear before tickets are sold, and they dont change, no one who chooses to enter should have any gripes...
