No one's whining, but I would like to know when this team was formed. Obviously, if they have a 35 and a 46 from "before the team was formed" it was a recently formed "club". Most of the clubs up there in the top 5 have fish in there from May and June. Those clubs might have been formed, like us, just to fish the tournament, but they started under the same rules, and started fishing for fun, competition, prestige, camerademie, sportsmanship and all of the other stuff the tournament was formed for. Looks to me like this club was formed on the eve of commercial season for the sole purpose of winning, and being able to cherry pick from 30 fish a day. Every other club had to stick by 2 fish a day from May up until July. It may be within the rules, but it goes against the whole spirit of what this thing was supposed to be about.
Do I begrudge the Bass and Brew guys their fish even tho they have a lot of comms there? No, they started out like us, back in May, as did the Sandwich Yacht Club and RISAA. They weren't thrown together on the eve of commercial season. Hey, we weren't going to win it anyway. If I was one of those Bass and Brew guys, tho, I'd be beaucoup pissed.
No sour grapes---it just sucks, period. They're putting up some nice fish, but it still stinks.
