Regarding the MV Derby and local culture: More advocacy and re education will probably be needed. What about the so-called "Private Derbies" run by tackle shops? Specific to the Vineyard, there has been a decades long Island extension of the MV Derby called October Fish.
Cudos to my MV friend Tommy Taylor who spent the last two MV Derbies trying to help is grandson win the junior boat bass division. They didn't. Despite the initial objections of said grandson, they never killed a single bass because they never caught the winner. No, they didn't kill a bass so Junior could win the Daily; or the Weekly; or worse yet... kill a bass so Junior could be eligible for winning the daily "Mystery Prize".
That kid has learned a lesson from a Guardian who knows how to teach it... by example.
