I love the western style gun launch in a line. Imagine the adrenaline!

Yeah,that's pretty rad. As a kid, we used to spend a few weeks every summer on Lake Degray in Arkansas where my dad grew up. They had a weekly nighttime tourney every Tuesday. Take off was just before dusk and would draw a bigger crowd than the weigh in. There were a couple of guys who would show up every week and pay the entry fee just to race in the take off, then turn around and put their boats on the trailer and go home. Beating their buddies off the line meant more than winning the tournament to some of them. If they lost, they'd spend the rest of the week wrenching and trying different props to get a few more mph out of their boat.
 
If they were making $40k for that then, imagine what someone like Billy is making to catch bass now.
