seems like he should be able to enter HIS two heaviest for the Team competition,,,,,,,,,,i'll have to reread the rules.
The rules are pretty simple--you can only enter one fish a week, regardless of whether the second fish you want to enter is one of your two heaviest.

Enter a 42# Fish on Monday, catch a 50# fish on Thursday--you are SOL.

This is year three of the Cup, and that rule hasn't changed since the start of it.

If we can break 500 points and finish second, I would consider that a hell of a feat. We're fishing against some of the best bass fisherman on the planet, and we would have three top ten finishes, with a win and a second among them, and a 500 point total 2 out of the three years. That's not exactly chump change. You can try to win every year, but expecting a win every year is just fantasy. We're up against some really good competition.

Plus, 90% of us are shore guys and don't fish commercially.

I think we've done OK over the last 3 years.

I'll be proud to help John hand the Cup over to the winners, knowing we gave it a hell of a fight.
