I think TDF got it right what makes you think this is not going on already? I do sign up each year but feel as Clammer does if you have a tournament of most any size you get some one that NEEDS to cheat to prove he is better that anyone else. I like to join just for the fun of it and did not even weight a fish last season.

What this does do is allow guys to fish for both...legally. We had a guy at the club register for shore....he banged a 36 lb'er from his boat...it was worth nothing for the club. He even checked off Boat on the slip when he weighed it. A lot of people fish both and now they have the option.
No matter what...if someone wants to cheat...they'll cheat...period
Rules are for Honest people...sad, but true
and I've said it before...if you don't like the rules, don't sign up........its that easy.
