Finally! A fishing tournament that doesn’t require a $45,000 fishing boat with a $20,000 300-horsepower motor, $10,000 worth of electronics and a $50,000 truck to pull it to the lake.
Kudos to the fine Americans who are organizing this fishing tournament on Lake Lanier that’s limited to electric-powered jon boats!
