Well I was always a CCA member in Texas & Louisiana. The "Star Tournament" down south is huge. It has great prizes (trucks, boats, college scholarships). The tournament was for catching tagged fish and big-fish for different species. It was always a no-brainer to register for the tournament. I paid my $50 every year for the chance to win. Hopefully, the CCA of CA can grow to size needed to do the same type of tournament here. In the meantime, I will support the local chapters, have a few tacos & beer, meet other local anglers, buy a few Sabiki 500's, and maybe get a lucky raffle ticket. I definitely encourage all to attend. The future fisheries will only get better with more involvement and influence from the CCA.......See ya Wednesday
