Naturally you cant cover as much ground in a topper in the same amount of time as a big boat can. That's not to say it's impossible. In fact, we've competed and finished higher than big boats in the past in our own topper. It still wouldn't be my first choice is all. Good luck though for real if that's what you'll be in. You still gotta put the fish in the boat, but it sure is more comfortable at a place like Mashpee in a big boat than in a topper in my opinion.
3rd place by default. 4th really. Outta 19 boats pretty competitive for a 12ft Jon boat....just sayin....
All accomplished while not playing on Facebook!! Good job
