heh, I'm mostly joking about the kickboat thing. Obviously these guys have boat and motor sponsors and all that so fishing out of a kickboat isn't an option. It would be funny to watch though :)

Sacto John - maybe one day kickboat fishing will get big enough to make an event like you're describing more viable. B-n-T has 4 regions now and the Clear Lake open just drew 50 something anglers. SCBBBC is drawing 20+ guys at their tourneys and getting national media coverage through ESPN. So you never know what the future may bring :) A Western regional classic type event? Time will tell.
