Baller disland Posted June 3, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 3, 2011 Question was asked what the prize money was for each event. I couldn't find it on the web site anywhere. Is it supposed to be a secret? Anyone know what it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Ed_Johnson Posted June 7, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 7, 2011 I've seen Bass Tounaments for over $250,000 1st Place. Just for catching a Fish !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted June 7, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 7, 2011 Bass Fishing is accessible. Everybody thinks they could be a great bass fisherman. Slalom not so much. So bass fishing gets sponsorship. Yeah, it's obvious, but: Prize money is not correlated to challenge level, it's correlated to economics. But it's probably worth noting that winning major fishing tournaments like that is also a lifetime commitment, and maybe even more so: Fishing all day long is possible and so you know somebody is doing it. And that means anybody who isn't is not likely to ever win a major tournament like that. Skiing all day long would just destroy your body, so there is less advantage to that type of extreme time dedication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
