Distance confidence
Useful numbers. Honest labels.
Google recorded 924.7 combined miles. The leaderboard verifies the weight, placing, hour, and payout—not the exact second or catch pin. The $248.40 lodging payment is retained as a confirmed partial payment, not presented as the full stay cost.
Location privacy
The lake section is public. The dot is not.
The public story uses Lake Eufaula and public-area labels. Exact tournament fishing tracks and the private Vrbo location are withheld.
