not trying to be a dummy on this,
but it seems that there is a gray area here,,,,,,,,,
that may require a ruling for this one instance.
i mean how often do sharpies catch two over 40#'s, together,
at the same SPOT, on the same BITE? within the same week, not so rare.
Straight from the RULES page itself:
1)Anglers are allowed to enter and weigh only one (1) fish per week. Fish must be at least 36 inches in length to weigh in. Fish must be weighed at a registered weigh station sanctioned by the tournament. At the time of weigh-in, the fisherman must present proper identification and provide the Weigh-Master with full and certified information relating to the catch. By signing the weigh-in slip, the fisherman attests to all information given.
2) For the club competition, fish caught by anglers registered in the shore division will be multiplied by a factor of 1.2. Entrants may only weigh in fish for the division in which they are registered. Only the two largest fish from an individual angler may count toward a club’s total points.
which rule is the superceder? just my understanding, but as far as the Team totals go it does state that an angler's ".....TWO largest fish may count toward a club's total points" and that does make more sense, if the tournament is truly looking for the Team's heaviest 10 Stripers, who cares when and how close to the other ones; so long as he's catching within the fishery mngmt regulations??
hopefully, this will all be a moot point with sum LAHHHGAH large to be landed out there.
keep pushin' gents,,,,,,,it ain't over yet!
