1. No your not behind, nobody really entered any fish till the thir leg.
2.Yes for the fish you enter. If you get a large enough fish to enter in the tournament it must be measured and released for it to count. It also has to be witnessed by another board member. If you are not going to enter a fish then you can keep it. Right now minnimum size is over 38" for thre tournament. So if ya want to keep a 38" or smaller it's ok. You will have to check Rhody regs for their size limits, I don't know what they are.
3. Ah , it will cost ya some of those hot plugs you make.
Of course you can come but John would have to let you know if you are eligible to enter a fish. I believe you meet all the requirements.
4.Meet at Weekapaug B&T at 1pm and we will fish in groups depend on what you like to do.
5. For every fish you take you must donate 5 of the aforementioned plugs to John for dispersal amongst the troops.
Help yourself, I was only kidding. Cya there Jenty.
