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

Agreed, Ed.Some people (few) are certainly making too big a deal of this.As you said, its only one fish per week. Also, the recs have the entire tournament (20 weeks?)versus the commercials five or six weeks. Most of the bars are already set pretty high too. I would be tourqed off if a boater weighed a large into the surf category, but there are many scenarios that cannot be prevented during a contest.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
