Was I right to shove?

Tourny £2 Bounty Hunter.
9 left from 119,
Not seen any cards for 25 hands and can't steal on this table due to big stack stations calling everything.
I was 8th at the time and the 9th player was sitting out so I could of seen the flop for free but knew someone would put the dicision on me.  Figured the big stack would call me due to bounty value but was looking at final table rather than an extra £1!
Was this the correct move as I get in this position quite often and it seems not to work?

    Yes you were IMO. As the shortie with less than 6BB in front you were unlikely to get a better chance, xxx was correct to call too. It didn't work out this time but that shouldn't stop you playing it the same way in future.
