Allot of clubs have this rule about a tourney fish not caught while comm or charter fishing. Never quite understood it though. As long as the person who hooked it lands it what is the problem. Who cares where the fish ends up after the fact.
What it boils down to is this. Most anglers are jealous that some of the comm/charter guys are better fisherman and therefore catch more fish. Therefore they curve the rules to there favor. The comm angler/charter guys just simply put in more time than most on the water and that is sometimes the only reason they catch more and maybe some are better. But still simply most jealously by one group over another.

I do not agree it has anything to do with jealousy. Just as stated above, there are rules in place that do enable commercial guys to submit tourny fish.
RaiderRon, hope you and the family have a blast, go large  |

I think that rule is more in place because during the Comm season they are allowed to take more than the 2 a day that the rest of us do. as longs as he sticks to the 2 a day 28" limit that should be fine.
He stated that he is fishing w/ his family as a rec guy. He seems like an Upstanding Guy....even though he IS a raider fan. Just as long as he fishes under the same regulations as the rest of us for the day he should be fine.
Every tournament has to have a level of trust. Who's to say that a guy that turned in a fish wasn't "culling" or didn't turn in a fish that his "Non-member" buddy he was fishing with caught. You can't, you just have to trust them.

To simplify my statement. The weekend angler sometimes can't expect to outfish someone who fishes 5 days a week plus. Are the charter/comm guys better? Some are, The hardcore surf guys on some nites will out fish anyone. The comm/charter guy compared to the aveerage Joe keeps records, gets up early, fishes when the weather is not great ect. Hence more time fishing makes a better chance at getting your trophy. Not looking to start too much bashing etc.
