Make it your next goal. You love fishing so much, why not try to get something in return for all your hard work. You've been catching plenty of fish over there in WI, I'm sure you do quite well in a competitive environment.
I've competed in trout and salmon tournaments before but it's tough when you're competing against boats.
One of the tournaments I placed just out of the money (6th) with a 23.49lbs king salmon caught on the pier. 1st was 24.3lbs and 5th place was only 23.51lbs.
There was a $500 payout to the first fish over 25lbs and when I weighted it when I caught it, it was 25.5lbs on my digital scale! So I lost a lot of water weight during the transportation, even though it was on ice.
When I get my own boat I'll be sure to start competing more. Maybe even come up for a tournament.
