This particular tournament was in fact sponsored by a dockside bar and
package store. The booze doth flow freely as the river. As far as I
know, the tournament was not sanctioned.

A responsible BASS would rewrite the rules to take the boat race factor out of
the "fishing" tournament. It is ridiculous to inflict 250 hp bass boats on the
residents of small lakes just because Bill Dance has one and "we all want to be
like Bill".
If you just want a boat that goes 60MPH, buy one, but don't try to tell us it
is because you need it to catch fish on a small lake.
