I was the one who made the comment about fishing tournys getting kids interested. My club sponsers a kids tourny where every kid walks away with new rods, tackel, and other donated stuff. The prizes are donated from club members and local shops. Most clubs, like mine, are not about the money you win at the end of the day. If thats was what it's about then bass fishermen would all be rich. Gas, meals, tackel, and ect cost alot of money, I have never made a profit in two yeaars of tourny fishing and most others do not either. There is no way a BASS casting kids contest or local club have a take a kid fishing day is teaching young anglers to be greedy fishermen. After all fishing will keep them off the couch playing thier PS3 and out of trouble.
