JohnR,
That bluefish was length not weight. All fish compete based on length not weight because it's difficult to carry fish around on the 'hunk since most everyone is on foot. A lot of people like to catch and release and not everyone has a scale handy. I should also mention that it is all beach fishing - no boats. I've attached last year's flyer so you can get a sense of the rules.
