They also need to go 60 MPH!


Why? To get to the opposite shore when a shore fisherman there lands a
big one?


The serious answer is for bass tournaments, where everyone starts at a
specific location. You have only so much time to get to your fishing
location, catch your fish and get back for the weigh in.

Only because they have the tourneys in places that make it necessary
and by rule make it part of the equation. Good or bad, it makes the
team and planning more a part of the game. Good for manufacturers who
want that footage of their boats doing 60 on perfectly flat, glass,
mamby pamby, baby water... pffffttt.

Fishing is supposed to be fun and relaxing, not stressful.

Since the outboard companies are big sponsors of fishing tournaments
it is not surprising that they juggle the rules to favor the fastest
boats. Then your average Joe gets the idea that he needs 250HP to fish
his 1000 acre lake


yep... it's all about the sponsors...

And they also take those boats where not many people will venture.
