Have We Seen the Last Million Dollar Bass Tournment Check?

I read in BassFan Dock Talk that the Ranger Cup Contingency Bonus for winning the Forrest Wood Cup is going to be $100,000 in 2010, which is down from $500,000 last 3 years. In case you did not know, the Forrest Wood Cup win for the last few years has been worth $500,000 and so Ranger owners had a shot at a million dollar payday with the addition of that 500K Ranger Cup money. The first million dollar winner was Scott Suggs in 2007. In 2008the million was claimed by Michael Bennett In 2009 the Forrest Wood Cup was won by Greg Hackney, who happened to be with Triton Boats at the time, so he didn't make the million. It very well could be that the days of the million dollar bass tournament payday are now over for good.

It may be a sign of the end of the world that the last $1,000,000 paycheck in Professional Bass Fishing went not to a fisherman, but to Terry Moberly of Kentucky for being a lucky Fantasy Bass Fishing player.
I wonder what that FLW Fantasy Fishing Challenge is going to look like this year? Will they even have it?
