I gave you a heads up about this. You don't stand a chance in hell in winning against these guys. Yes, they are all comm fishermen and all are boat fish except for a 46 from the surf. They never even started to fish until the comm season started, that is the only reason you made it on the board. They are landing more 40#+ fish that you never see because they already weighed one in for the week.

There is no way a surfcaster taking two fish can compete against a serious comm fishermen with bait in a boat taking 30. end of story. You're burnt toast. IMO this contest should not allow comm fishermen to compete OR should have a separate catagory just for fisherment with comm lic's (whether you use it or not)

BTW, what what ever happended to the Bill Major matter? Is he still on the board? Speaking of questionable comm fishing ethics, the constable nailed another guy taking 22 bass on a monday out here.

BTW if your B&T faxes in the slips you will get the same day deal. Also, I know SM is very careful about doing anything that even appears questionable. Anyone who works at the shop has their fish wieghted in at Larrys B&T to avoid any confilct. The other comm fishermen just use him as a weigh station like anyone else. He faxes in the slips within minutes after they are weighed in. They don't even bother with anything under 40.

They are just fish catching machines. If OTW thinks it is OK for comms to compete with recs...this is what is going to happen.
