Like I said before.....whats the difference w/ registering a Boat caught fish as Shore before....or visa versa....

I just think there is a strong possiblity of someone trying to weigh a boat fish in the surf category. That's all. A van staal is a tempting prize. Probably even for a boat guy. Remember, there are folks fishing this tournament strictly for the prizes and could care less about the team competition or angler of the year.

But thats always been the case.....nothing ever stopped someone from registering a boat caught fish as a Surf Caught.....Now at least they have an ethical choice.

you got a good point here, but this really just opens the door even wider if you ask me. It would be incredibly suspicious if a known boat high-ligher only registered in the shore division in past years. Now, the suspicion is still there, but it is not as prominent because the guy can just say what most people would say "I fish both and don't want to lose out if I catch a good shore fish"
