BUT you can disqualify anyone who is fishing with gear or has gear on their boat or partner boats.  

Exactly.

That there was no pay out has nothing to do with everyone in the tournament following the rules.

1. No launching from private launches.......

2 No conventional tackle or live bait allowed in your boat or your group of boats.

I'm not calling anyone dishonest but I don't accept that having a "Guide" and another guy in the group who we also observed using conventional gear fishing the same water at the same time is acceptable and following the rules. If it's just a good ole boy gathering then call it that. If it's a FLY FISHING ONLY  tournament with rules then the rules apply to everyone. If I came in with a 50"er and had two conventional rods in my boat and said jarrod used them but I caught the fish on a fly, would I have been disqualified??  It seems there is a grey area concerning kayaks and what constitutes using conventional gear. My post was meant to help avoid this confusion in the future.

All that said, Todd did an outstanding job making this happen. It was a good time, we met some great folks, and drank some great beer. Congrats to everyone involved it was a hoot!

Like I've been saying all this time, 2 or more is dangerous. This isn't the first and it won't be the last.

It's unbelievable how quickly a boat gets swamped if it gets crossways with an obstacle under generation.  I have seen it happen.

I heard yesterday that TWRA got the CORPS big barge boat & pulled the sunken one back to Betty's & a local farmer on a tractor flipped it & helped pull it back on the trailer.
They went back up early the next morning & recovered about everything except one rod/reel, of course, coming out alive was a good thing.

Couldn't agree any more.

Glad they got out alive.

Congrats to all who competed. A muskie is one fish I would like to put under my belt 1st gear then I would like to try it OTF.

Here is a blog post from the winner of the Tournament. He is on the Jackson Kayak Fishing Team, and looks like a long time angler of Pike and Muskie.
