I think as I have often mentioned the AM class needs a complete restructure. While I know that the old school thought that high prizes will bring in more boats the simple fact is I know I am not the only one who can do the math and figure out if you can't win it makes little sense to play. And if I am only fishing for fun why pay the entry fees and fish under the tourney rules. Since the weather has beaten us at nearly every event this year causing a lot of guys to not be able to fish in events they payed for or to be forced to fish in crummy cond or as in one have to haul butt back in to beat the shortened event sched. So answer me this if you are not one of the few that do well in every event you enter what would it take to get you to donate to this? As for me I took the money I budgeted for 4 tournaments and fished more I also fished a few smaller charity events and had a great time and will most likely do the same next year. Would I like to be a part of the big events sure but to be honest I doubt I will untill they cap the max in AM and force some of these guys to move up to Pro or realize the days of making big money in AM are over.
