Also, if you voted no in this poll, you better be playing this year or your vote doesn't count  :smt001

This, and include spearfishing

Corey:
Participation in this event has seemingly gone down every year, even with no entry costs. Anything we can do to increase it, I'd be in favor of. I've fished with more than a few people with Bixbys, Torqeedos, etc.  At no point did I feel they had an advantage over me, even as an older guy.

We accept every other technical advantage, including live scope (is that still fishing?). Winning this contest (I have a sense of what it takes) is still going to be about a willingness to get on the road, fish a lot of new locations, learn to fish species you know little about and probably lean on a friend or two for guidance. It's not going to be about who has a small motor.

I say bring 'em on.

I agree, let's get as many folks participating as possible.

I'll still be sticking with coffee powered kayaks though, unless there's a special category for "motorized canoe but with a 4 y/o onboard as a handicap"

This. Times are changing. I agree that just because you have a motor that you will be going out of your way to compete. My opinion. If you can climb the leader board and win it. Maybe there should be a non-motorized and motorized winner. Nothing wrong with that.
