Nice fish!

we look good in the standings right now but lets see what things look like after the first week of the commercial season when the boat/commercial numbers start piling up.

what was the total points of the team that won last year?

High 470s. 4-5 fish were weighed in by their top guy, who was also the Angler of the Year for the boat division. This year only two count.

They also entered fish before and after the commercial season. They actually pulled it out over Team #^&#^&#^&#^&'s in the last week of the tourney. I don't think #^&#^&#^&#^&'s entered a single fish after mid-August.

Maybe with the .3 bonus some of the Vineyard guys will concentrate on surf after commercial season, but surf fishing for large on MV hasn't been all that great. Fish in the low 40s are winning the Derby. It's been almost 10 years since a 50 was entered from shore. I think #^&#^&#^&#^& Hathaway entered the last one.
