I just think this tourney could be more conservation minded than it is as it stands now.

If S-B fields a team, do we impose our own little extra limit? Be it a minimum size? Or lmiting fish weighed in over the course of the tourney? Will that put a disadvantage on our people as they enter?

Thanks,

Suppose we took our version of the " High Road"( if we could manage to agree on where THAT was before the tournament was over) and actually won something? Say we don't go for poundage but the one really good fish of a week or month? I have to admit that I hadn't read the rules before I agreed to (Asked to?) fish for S-B. The thought of killing 2 34 or better fish a week for points just sticks in my craw tho. I'll fish to fill the freezer, always have. Never have fished for points before, that makes things real complicated...
