Water Clarity: 0 I have hosted as well as participated in several tournaments in the recent past. I really enjoy the sport of Bass fishing, it is very competitive, and a blast to to be a part of the sport. Out of 100 local tournaments that I have fished I cant think of a negative word to say, but as for the One fish tournament out of Rainbow landing I cant say the same. I walk up to pay, the guy takes my money not telling a time to weigh in, nor does he hand me a rule sheet. As 6 pm approaches a horn sounds and I assume that means go. I take off come to the small bridge let out of the gas until I'm completely under and thru and I'm off again. After fishing about an hour I'm in the same slue the tournament director and his partner are fishing they witness a couple of our good catches and ask us how we are doing and are friendly as can be. after asking another tournament participant the weigh in time we start to head back to put the boat on the trailer and are approached by the guy who saw us catch the good fish. Guess what he says? "yall are disqualified because you didn't slow down enough blasting off to go under the second bridge. A rule is a rule and I will abide at all cost, and understand that ignorance to the rule is no exception, but know this these guys don't have a clue as to how to operate a tournament and I don't think anything would have been said if they didnt see us catching those good fish. I hope all that read this wont waste your time or money to fish the Friday nite one fish tournament out of Rainbow landing it is hard to beat them when they watch you fish and disqualify you if they think you have them beat.
