Last year when we were headed back to the marina just before dusk, we
noticed a bunch of boats gathered around the entrance.  All of a sudden, all
of them shot out of there like (pick your favorite metaphor).  As they
scattered to all parts of the lake the noise and the waves were hard to
describe.  Mark, who happened to be with us, said it was a shot gun start
fishing tournament.  So, we figured the 200 hp motor is so they can get to
their favorite fishing hole before the other guy.  Nothing like a little
"speed fishing".  Of course, as Steve suggests, a big motor don't catch no
fish.
