Ralph Lee

Reacting to a @FWinter crash while in a quiet business meeting.

"Lee, would you like to share something?"

I've went round and round trying to figure out why I don't compete? Every year I tell myself I'm going to start attending. All my reason's/excuses boil down to one thing...

I get WAY too much satisfaction from my practice scores. I ski regularly at several different courses in the area, some certified record capable, some not. Some with certified drivers, some not. My buoy count is the exact same regardless of where I ski. I suppose if I only skied one boat, one lake, I might feel the need to prove myself, but at this point I don't have the desire to compete for the primary reason of getting my score on a piece of paper or the internet. I want to go head to head with equal caliber skier and upset them by half a buoy

@Mark_Matis a Bimini would be crucial!! Friend of mine talks about a tournament just short of 200 entries on I believe Lake Mayfield in Washington.

If I could get some good fishing in from shore between sets, I think I'd be all in. Sharing time and learning from like minded people is nice, but it gets a just a tad boring. I need to see 39.5 go down, or I need to be catching some nice size bass while chilling.

Practice may not count, but it's still freaking gratifying!
