A fair bit of money goes into the costs of running the tournament. I know there's a few we had to pay the DNR now, as well as the food all the anglers are given at the weigh-in (costs money to others who did not fish), the costs of renting the scales and other equipment, and the trophies presented to the winners. I didn't run the budget or choose payouts this year so I'm not going to act like I know everything regarding it, but just saying there are other costs involved with running a 40 boat tourney. I know in previous years we ended up in the hole from the event, and last year we were nearly dead even so I believe its based on the previous years costs.

Oh okay, that makes sense. I guess I didn't realize the turn out was that good! That's a pretty large tourney.
