Another 53 or so points. Imagine if we put up 500+ points? Do you think any of the boating clubs can put up ten 50s in their totals, with only two fish per individual angler?
That .3 a pound almost makes it unfair in favor of surf clubs. Adds 12 pounds to a 40. Every 40+ lb fish is an automatic 52+. That's a big bonus, and IMO not really reflective of the disparity in difficulty between shore and boat.

Its a good start. More guys are participating this year, plus the large have been cooperative from the surf this year for many. Every year is different. Don't forget that every club can weigh in surf fish too, and it is still early in the season. I think a 40 from the surf is every bit as difficult as a 50 from the boat in this day and age. At the end of the year, I would guess the surf 40's will be equal or less than the boat 50's entered in the tourney. Just a guess.
Nice fish Jim. |

I agree, it seems a bit much, I thought so when I first heard it. I can see 1.15 or so to 1 or even 1.2 maybe but 1.3 is alot.
Boat caught fish are just as hard to fool and catch, well maybe a bit easier to land, but what it seems to come down to is more mobility so why should that make a boat fish that much less valuable.
Anyway, SWEET fish Jim! You might have convinced me to not bring a plugbag and get some eels. |

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
