This is very entertaining- 8 pages of grown men complaining about fishing in bad weather…. Bad weather is cold, rain, maybe high winds. Dangerous weather is lightning. It’s not about complaining. It’s about an organization that was formed for the benefit of children that would not postpone an event that it had a week of warning of dangerous conditions.

The UIL needs to take over these fishing leagues. I know some guys on here have a financial stake or run a region and I'm sure I'll hear from them. But having an adult get injured or killed in a tournament is one thing, having someone's child injured or killed during a high school extra-curricular activity is another. Texas lakes are inherently dangerous even without storms.
That's a fantastic way to make it go away... UIL is only interested in things that make money for the "school"... I'm not gonna comment on whether uil oversight is right or wrong in this case. I would suggest you rethink the part about things that make money for school. Have you looked at how many non revenue generating activities that fall under UIL? I'm fairly certain impromptu speaking isn't putting much money in the bank for schools......I'm fairly certain you don't know what you are speaking of. Maybe that theatrical design competition really brings in the bucks? What you think? The only sport that makes money is football, it makes a lot. Boys basketball does but add in girls and its break even at best. Believe me, someone is making money. This is not chess club or girls volleyball. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/465522960

YEAH, that'll teach them!! Lets get more government involved. They know exactly what how to handle bass fishing!!
Everything on your bass boat is broken......You just don't know it yet.

Thanks for sharing donegonefish. Now it all makes sense. Big difference between a volunteer TD and one earning 90k/yr.

If that is true and he is making that much, I think yall might be right. I thought yall were just whining when yall said it was for the money. That is almost double what a starting teacher salary is, for working with kids all day.

To answer the question about the TD’s income.
Matt, is also one of the 2 employees that the THSBA has. He is on a salary as well as paid for the tournaments he runs same as the other 2 TD’s. Matt oversees all the scheduling, permits, coordination with the host marina’s etc… as well as any day to day tasks that are associated with the association. Example, making repairs on the trailers, attending sponsor meetings, events, etc.. as we all work normal jobs with the exception of Steve Holland and Glenda, they are both retired. Glenda does all the bookkeeping and scholarships paperwork for the group.
Yes he does get paid. Whoever said the TD’s are not paid was not correct. They have been being paid for the past 7-8 years.
As far as the rest of the discussion. It will all be talked about in June at our meeting.
Hope this answers some of the questions.
I may not respond to questions till later.
Have a good day.
Ken

I can’t believe yall are impressed with $90k/annually. That’s basically a living wage as an adult.
