there really is no fair multiplier. the only way to do it, if people want to take it seriously, is to separate it. The other is to just accept it as fun and not worry about it. if you compare the number of 50s taken from the boats vs the number from the surf the 1.3 factor starts to look fair. I think that there was only 1 surf fish over 50 and only 4 surf fish over 44 lbs. The fact that we had 3 of those is why we won. If one boat team had 3 or the 4 largest boat fish, they probably would have won. Without those three fish it would have been close. It would have easily gone the other way if a couple guys on the same team stumbled onto a school of large from a boat that hung around long enough and then the surf guys would be saying the factor wasn't good enough. having the multiplier basically adds more luck to the equation every year because some years the factor will sway the results towards boat or surf.

So if we are all there I would think that the top 10 get in the picture right? Congrats to the guys who went large. It will be a great time.
