Personally I don't care either way, I'm just kind of playing devil's advocate here.
But look at it this way..
2 guys go fishing, One Comm and One Rec. They both catch 30 Lb'ers. They both keep them to enter the OTW Tourney.
An hour later they both pick up 35 lb'ers. Now they are both going to keep them for the OTW Tourney, I mean its a 5 lb upgrade.
Another hour goes by and the 2 of them hook into 40 lb'ers. Now, the Rec guy has 2 dead fish sitting on the beach next to him....his 40 has just become Catch and Release and off it goes, the Comm Guy throws his 40 on the pile for the OTW tourney.
Now if the Comm guy and Rec guy are buddies the Comm guy could say "Why don't you keep the 40 and just throw your 35 lb'er in my pile" and that would get the 40 entered for him But, Technically that isn't legal.
Another hour and they both hook into 45 lb'ers, another Catch & Release fish for the Rec guy and another fish on the pile for the Comm guy.
I know this isn't a common scenario but this explains why some people might view it as an advantage.

I think it's fair to all parties and not a big deal.
