WCW Poll - next season start - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I think there should be a break. Let people recharge.

I think some people have lost sight of the real goal of fishing because of WCW. Fishing is supposed to be fun. If you are going out fishing in miserable conditions just to have a shot at points for a stupid contest it just isn't the same anymore. Add on all the internet bullshit and pissing contest and we've seen what happens. I have made some great friends through the contest. The contest has also gotten to the point where not everyone knows each other and some don't like each other. It is no longer a silly contest between friends.

Tyler, I think that if there were no monies and prizes offered than this could be fun again, but once it becomes a contest there must be a winner. You can be friends off the court but not necessary on the court,or ring, or racetrack,etc..This is no different.If one doesn't want to win why enter in the first place?

I diffinetly agree with madscientist and lambs last remarks. If your fishing to prove a point with getting more points and showing someone up that is weak, let the fish be your trophy and your friends and good times be the reason for getting out there.
Not everyone can fish 5,10, 20 times a month. If there were more monthly tournys or jackpots I would be in for sure. Only being able to fish 1 a month or on a good month 5 times, depending on the time of year, I would have more encouragement for myself to try and win 1 month out of 12.
What you could do is the twelve months in the year turn into twelve tournys, then at the end of the year accumulate the points for each of the months to get an overall winner. Have an option to buy in for the overall year total. Basically 13 tournys in a givin year, individual month tournys and the overall fishslayer who likes to and can have the time to fish all year, unlike the rest of us who actually work for a livinglol . Just a thought.
Always wanted to participate with the plastic navy but just do not have the time. If there were more monthly things I would be down with that.
