That .3 a pound almost makes it unfair in favor of surf clubs. Adds 12 pounds to a 40. Every 40+ lb fish is an automatic 52+. That's a big bonus, and IMO not really reflective of the disparity in difficulty between shore and boat.

We're kicking ass
Its a good start. More guys are participating this year, plus the large have been cooperative from the surf this year for many. Every year is different. Don't forget that every club can weigh in surf fish too, and it is still early in the season. I think a 40 from the surf is every bit as difficult as a 50 from the boat in this day and age. At the end of the year, I would guess the surf 40's will be equal or less than the boat 50's entered in the tourney. Just a guess.

Nice fish Jim.
