No MA entries allowed?  I know I could post a good size double digit fish too, maybe two of them.
The rules are wierd to me. 2 small fish? what about 2 big fish? what is "small"?
Unfort'ly contests like this with big cash prizes encourages lots of foul play. You will see all kinds of stuff here. |

The Minimum fish size for the weigh in is 19 inches. So yes, two five pound fish will beat one 9 pound fish. But I would be absolutely amazed if some one who had a nine pound fish didn't have another fish over 19 inches to weigh. In other words, I expect almost all entries to be the combined weight of two fish.
Nor'east Saltwater is not presently being distributed in MA, so they set the georgraphic limits to be just NY,CT and RI where the magazine is distributed. All winners are required to submit to a polygraph test, so cheating should be kept to a minimum. Note you don't have to live in one of those states to compete, you just have to leave and return to one of the states on the day you opt to fish. So you MA guys could trailer or sail to RI and fish the tourney.

So it's basically the combined weight of your two biggest fish right? I mean noone is going to catch a single fish that is going to outweigh everyone else's pair.
OK, if that's the way it works then it's somewhat simple. You've got me interested.
Your boat or mine? lol

Fish on,
I'm not sure I'm going to enter yet. Even though I'm technicall eligilble, I do write for the magazine and moderate on their website. I can see a lof of grief coming my way if I was lucky enough to win something. OTOH a quick trip to Noman's might prove to be very worthwhile!

MM,
I am thinking of doing this. The rules state my boat must depart a NY, CT or RI port....does the boat have to return to that RI port?

Sandy,
I think the rules say that you have to leave from and return to a RI report. But I might be wrong on that. IN any even, you will have to weigh you entry at a RI weigh station. I'll check and see if you can drive the fish to the weigh station in your car/truck or you have to being it by boat. I'll get back to you.
