Pepe,
Are you pulling legs here?
The RCL has been gone for many many years. It turned into the FLW Walleye Tour after Crestliner and Lund were dumped by Genmar and Brunswick bought them. They are still in business and part of the largest fishing tournament company in the country, although last year they struggle to fill fields.
As far as the PWT coming back, it won't. It's gone. The company who owns the name and the former tournament trail saw no return on their investment in time and talent so they closed it down. It was a money pit.
It wasn't a sign of the times, but a sign of poor managemen and decision making by the PWT over many years. It was this culmination of bad business, after the Lindners sold it, that brought it down.
i guess i don't keep up with what is going on in the tournament world. i was'nt aware that so many of the tournaments were in trouble. i just follow the pwt, and when they were not going to have their tournaments this year i was curious as to why?....pepe
