Allot of clubs have this rule about a tourney fish not caught while comm or charter fishing. Never quite understood it though. As long as the person who hooked it lands it what is the problem. Who cares where the fish ends up after the fact.

What it boils down to is this. Most anglers are jealous that some of the comm/charter guys are better fisherman and therefore catch more fish. Therefore they curve the rules to there favor. The comm angler/charter guys just simply put in more time than most on the water and that is sometimes the only reason they catch more and maybe some are better. But still simply most jealously by one group over another.
