Arkman, I haven't fished in a single tournament, but I've attended probably 90% of them since CACA was started. I take pictures for the club, simply because I am there and I believe it raises and enhances the profile of the club when the results are posted with photos. I've made some really good friends by being a member of CACA, even though I don't fish. Also, I have learned a lot about crappie fishing by attending the weigh-ins and hearing the winners talk about where they found the fish, how they caught them, etc. These guys are good crappie fishermen, but I don't think you would feel like you are donating because, as Greg said, sometimes they get beat by someone whose home lake they are fishing. I invite you to come out to one of our weigh-ins and enjoy the camaraderie for yourself, then get a partner and fish a tournament. I think you would enjoy it. CACA tournaments are more about enjoying some friendly competition, enjoying the camaraderie and learning something you didn't know. Look forward to seeing you out there.
