    Somewhere I missed the part that Mr. Fontaine was denied care. Is there an article/link to that information?

    Good lord do I feel like a complete idiot for not ever having thought about the flared muzzle for easier shot-filling.

    I'm not following your reasoning. I know literally THOUSANDS of nurses in pretty much every care area in every hospital in ND, every hospital in SD, about 1/3 of the hospitals in MT, 1/4 of WY, and about 10% of MN. Hundreds of Dr.'s, hundreds of Pharmacists, dozens of administrators from dept...

    Same way one would go about cheating at about anything else. You're fooling yourself if you don't think that there's some MAJOR allure to be the "official" in the winning boat. If the offer of the bright lights of fame fail, $$ usually works.

    NOTHING eliminates ALL cheating you DOLT! If you put Ghandi, the Pope, Nelson Mandella, and the Dali Lama all in a Fishing Tournament, 3:4 would cheat.

    How many lose their fuggin' mind over "$1 each for 1st, biggest, most" in a boat or 2 with just buddies? I'll tell you what would be an OUTSTANDING idea: A Chastity/Abstinence competition for Tournament Anglers. Try to "Flatten the Curve" and "Stop the Spread". Maybe ND G&F should start a...

    I’ve never stated that anyone at all needs or ought to seek my approval. Tournaments (and their accompanying week-worth of pre-fishing) make fishing less fun for the rest of the boating/fishing public. It’s not the traffic, it’s the attitude. Tournament fisher-people are in their own somewhat...

    Not having to deal with the tournament bullshit I'm sure I'll use Grahams Island ramps/fish the W end of Devils more often this upcoming summer. - - - Updated - - - Back up, earlier in this thread I said most of them are probably great people, until it's pre-fish or tourney days, then they...

    The one and only saving grace for them MIGHT be <$2 gasoline.

    That most assuredly encapsulates "Tournament-Mindset". There'd be a LOT more of those shenanigans if they could figure out how to pull the boat behind the mini-Excavator trailer without being so obvious and without alerting their fellow tournament anglers whom to follow. - - - Updated - - -...

    PJ, it's very telling that you go straight to personal attacks when someone disagrees. It's what I've come to expect from folks so insecure they can't just have fun. Fun isn't enough, you have to have a way to "prove" something. The only folks who don't enjoy fishing with me are the folks who...

    1. I don't fish tournaments (except for 1 campground tournament my buddies kid begged me to fish). 2.& 3. You can't have it both ways. Do you have a bunch of boats patronizing bait and gas stations, or are you taking 200 boats away from them? 4. I've never had to buy my friends nor pay to...

    What's your primary fishing mode and how many people do you typically have on the boat?

    Devils lake ice

    Pickup, ATV/UTV, snowmobile, or on foot?

    But that doesn't answer the question of what positives does it provide to fishing in general? It's easy to list the detriments, I'd like to hear someone defend the positives. Fishing tournaments should be limited to only being allowed to coincide with waterfowl season when all the...

    Big Muddy Tournament Date

    Since the title of this thread is about the Big Muddy. Tell me what positives for fishing in general come out of holding the Big Muddy tournament based out of Bismarck on the Mo river in early May? It doesn't help relations between tournament and non-tournament anglers to bring in more folks...

    Except the crowd at the ramp, and the bridges, and deep rocks in July/Aug, and pre-fishing where/when they see a group of boats, and, and, and, and............... It's funny, they don't like crowds but they PAY for the privilege of being guaranteed to be launching at the busiest boat ramp on...

    It'll be hard to quantify. If they're not as busy this summer some will say "it's lack of tournaments" others will say "Covid-19". If they are just as busy or busier it'll be chalked up to pent up demand due to being home-bound as well as <$2 gasoline. Nobody has a financial interest in...
