Competition!  That feeling of purpose and the need to sharpen your skills and improve your focus.  Thats why we fish tournaments.  Why do you?  Why should you fish tournaments?  For some it's hanging with the guys and talking strategy.  For others it's a way of making a living.  Maybe you enjoy the tension before the takeoff or walking up to collect a check?  Whatever motivates you, there is no better feeling then tournament fishing.
