Judy Wong displays her trophy for Women's excellence.
In all the hoopla concerning the Bassmaster Classic and the $500,000 prize that goes to the Men's winner, women are often swept by the side. However the women's branch of the BASS circuit was having their own championship this weekend that was won yesterday by Judy Wong of Many, Louisiana who had a total of 26-10 over three days.
Second place went to last year's winner Pam Martin-Wells was hot on her tail with 26-4 and kept the contest interesting.
This is all well and good but I have to echo the same question I asked a while back. If men get $500,000 why do women get only $60,000 and a new boat valued at another $10,000?
I don't know if parity is coming or not. At least this year they had the Women's contest close to the same time as the Men's and it was in the same town.

Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!
