Just an observation from an also-ran. These guys didn't seem to care whether or not they cut you off on Friday or Saturday. I had one boat come in and fish just 2 docks in front of me. Several other times they moved into areas and started fishing where I had to totally leave the area in order to keep fishing. They totally wiped out banks with their wakes on the way back to areas ahead of you. I've seen some poor boating etiquette, bu this was unreal! I guess that the quest for $$ makes some people do strange things. Hopefully, I won't ever get that bad! One guy actually shot across to fish a cut within casting distance of my boat. Just my 2 cents. Bank Pounder Jim.

Sounds to me like you should report it to the walmart bfl officials. I'm sure nothing can be done about what happened to you, but maybe they will at least start emphasizing boating etiquette at future tourneys so that others don't have to go through what you did. I'm having a real hard time picturing the likes of KVD or David Fritts or any of the other Pro anglers cutting someone off like that. Of course maybe I am just naive' but I don't think so.
