John, I dont care who is comm or not....big fish is big fish, nothing to do with culling etc. good fisherman will catch the largest fish...regardless.....As for the culling, thats crap...these guys are not going to toss money overboard just for a pin !!!!!!!! If they happen to catch a large they enter it...but culling with money.....nope dont think so, they keep there fish to get paid....by the lodgic here....your telling me these guys catch 20 fish and toss them in the drink because they get 20 larger? Recs can do that also....
The only advantage I see is that they are good fisherman, the ones with the large anyway.

And Zacs, there are recs who are just as good and have time on the water also, only difference is these guys make some money with there fish...A fisherman is a fisherman in my book, you either have it or you dont...simple as that. There are plenty of guys with commercial lic. who dont catch well... |

Every name up there is a better trophy fisherman than I am. ( Remember "show me the slips?" well there they are  ). I don't think any more time on the water would make me that much better. As for NIB, Holy crap man, you got a bass magnet or what!!!???   |

I registered for only 2 reasons......1) If lightening happens to strike and I get one over 30, 40, 50 or Gawd forbid 60 pounds......other than keeping the trophy for meself it would be nice to get a pin for the accomplishment! 2) Thought that at the very least I would be eligible for that drawing at the banquet. 
Thats all.....thats it.....don't care about getting the biggest, getting the most large or scoring the most points......thats not why I fish.....I fish cause I love to fish! Its my own little BigFish Derby and I am the only participant......I can't lose!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Here is the scenario folks.......comm. catches 30 fish.......one of them happens to be a 52 pounder.....the rest are 25-30 pounders......comm. figures why not weigh it in and make myself eligible for the 5 person drawing of the boat or truck or what ever the 5 largest fish caught are eligible for! Sells 29 for the dough and enters the 52 pounder! It is not culling in the sense of the word, just that out of the 30 fish.....one happens to be a slammer......you don't think that has/could happen? |

Don't they still get to keep the fish after its weighed? If So they aren't really giving that fish up. |

It's early August. I don't have a 20-30# fish landed yet this year! If I get something that will actually mean something in the final tally, it will have to be over 40#. Level field? No. But that's not my reason for entering. Will OTW review the format for the future? Probably. But for this year, I entered under the rules as they stand. If comms want to play, I just don't care......... It is what it is.
(my reason for entering was my two trips to Cuttyhunk each provide me a shot at a trophy fish, so I had better be entered)
