I owe it to the power of Side Imaging for salavaging the tournament. I have a journal that details the event: http://www.724outdoors.com/Fishing/j...iArticleID=973

Whether you are fishing for fun or competitively SI will show you what's under and around the boat. Allowing you to make wiser decisions and keeping you on fish rather casting in the "dark". It's all about becoming the most efficient angler you can be. Whether you have and hour a day to spend on the lake or 10 hours. It's funner to be catchin' than castin'!
I took one of our Catfish guides out last year about this time. And he won a few and placed second on rivers he had not fished.
He told me that the 987 was 75% of his winnings. As it allowed him to cover so much water to find fish. And the others were still trying to look over a small part of what he had done in a few hours. It was taking everyone else days.
