Let me ask this again--how did Team SB finish in first place last year with something like 519 points, when no one entered a 50 pounder?

Do you really think that having a 40 pounder count for 52 points isn't a bigger advantage than being able to cull through 95 fish? Out of the 95 fish a commercial gets to box every week, how many 52s are going to be there? Chances are his biggest fish out of the mix is low 40s. Did you know that a legit 54 pound shore fish last year would be the equivalent of a boat caught 72, points-wise?

Even this year, our 40s are going to be the equivalent of a boat 48. That's still a big advantage.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
