If I thought CDC was just about tournaments then I wouldnta never joined (as you can already tell, I aint about spending MORE money to fish). I joined to learn and then share from my experiences so others can learn and then share from their experiences. I think one of the best things going are the crappiefests, slabfests, whatever your state calls 'em, getting the CDC crews together along with their families for a fun day of fishing, food, and fellowship.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
