I agree 100 percent.Said it all along.com or not he got his fish..I feel he was being unfairly scrutinized.

I liked your 1st response better

You charmer you

I think many people did care because of the tourney. The guy can catch fish is for sure.

eelman · 09-03-2006, 11:43 AM

Doesnt matter he caught large with a hook and line..........everyone wants to jump all over everyone else....jealousy and a sick need to see the guy tossed under the bus..until something happens to them...what comes around goes around, I would hate to have anyone here on my jury....seems most here love to see there fellow man "caught" or nailed or whatever..Mistakes happen people are human, what he did was no big deal. His fish should count.

what I said before was what I will say again, to many of you are wayyyyyyyyyy to wraped up in this tourney and so worried about what the "other" guys is doing.....Who the %$%$%$%$ cares........

Many people care Bill.... would you want to play poker with someone for money that you know cheats? The guy is an awesome fisherman but how he got to that level matters to many of us.

To each his own.

A place I will probably never step foot in, it is always good to see you team win. we don't have a meeting house so where ever the captain puts it is ok with me.

Bill - why is it that half the time when you see something you don't agree on you call it jealousy? You think people are jealous of Major?

The guy allegedly had 6 bass in his boat when he could legally have two - where is the jealousy?

"Mistakes happen people are human, what he did was no big deal. His fish should count."

How is having 6 fish in a boat a mistake? What he did is a big deal. If this is not true his fish should not count.

Why John? because who are you to judge or anyone for that matter? How do you REALLY know what happened??? until its ironed out in court or wherever, the guy isnt guilty of anything, it could have very well have been some type of mistake... misunderstanding, or a host of other things.......

Point Two, why do I say its jelousy? because of things like whats under your name..."changing my name to tony" there are more reasons but hey that makes my point, now I know you did that to be funny and all but, its just the constant talk of comms have an advantage etc... no they do not.....they fish with rod and reel like anyone else, they dont "cull" as much as everyone here would have people think, no one tosses money over the side just to get a pin....

let me see:

"its not fair" I have seen that here so many times it needs to be in the dear abby column

NIB · 09-03-2006, 01:20 PM

Well lets talk realistically for a moment.They guy is a comm.the season is not open yet an he get busted with 4 extra fish.
OOPs
Well i don't know where the mistake is.It's pretty obvious he had some one or place to move em to.He was tryin to make a feew illegal duckets.He got caught.
So,Either he got a ticket.
Paid the fine or did his time, so to say.Or has not even had a day in court yet.whatever it doesn't matter.

OK so someone tell me.
How does this effect what he did in the tourney.
Did OTW decide he was to unscrupulous after the fact.
I think in the rules it says they have the right.
It's there ball.
I think it's unfortunate if they outright DQ'd him or caused him to back out.
U know mostly I disagree with Bill.
But On this one I have to agree.
If he was guilty he should have by now paid his debt to society.
He should be absolved.
Let those who without sin cast the first stone.JC
I know I ain't troin no rocks

JohnR · 09-03-2006, 01:29 PM

Bill - you are missing my point. The guy came on here and said he had a "miscue" - a simple mistake. How does a veteran saltwater striped bass angler like that "miscue" on how many fish he has in the boat? Also, if you read my posts, the word "alledged" is used and is the proper term in a case like that.

A miscue is like a guy was fishing 1/4 mile in the eez. A miscue is keeping three fish becuase you are out of work and need to feed your family.

Keeping 6 fish when allowed 2 is not allowed under any circumstance at that time, commercial or not. That is not a miscue.

This is nothing about the quality of angler of the guy - obviously he's pretty stinkin' good. It is about what is ethical among anglers, what is legal in the eyes of the law and regulation, and what is good judgement for those that run a tournament.

As Glen Ordway would say, "You're makin' mah point".

Nobody is saying the comms are culling, they don't have to. Here's a scenario.

Comm guy has say 10 fish on the boat, some 20's and a few 30's. Decides to weigh in the biggest 30 for the tourney and keep fishing for his limit. Whattaya know, he gets a 40. Keeps that for the tourney and keeps fishing. Later on gets another one even bigger, just throw it on the pile, I'll weigh that one instead. And so on and so on. He's not throwing anything over the side.

Now you tell me how a comm doesn't have an advantage when a rec has to make the decision when to keep a fish when he reaches two.

Major may or may not have broken the law, but this has nothing to do with jealousy .I don't see anyone bitchin' about the guy that now holds the top spot.

Why???
John, u know the answer to that...East wind and it's snotty out..

vineyardblues · 09-03-2006, 03:14 PM

Well , not to toss more lumber into the fire but I for one am glad to see Mr Major out of the running. Looks to me that what ever the events in pulling his name it was the correct thing to do.

The jury is still out on "what happened" with drew himself or tossed out by OTW. Looks like a nuff stuff happened that now his name is gone

Doesn't work that way. Only the top 10 fish from each club count towards your point total. Our bottom two fish are 35 pounders. Two 40s are only going to add 10 or so points to our total.

We'd have to average close to 47 pounds among our top 10 fish to take the lead.
