I think it would also help if they updated the standings more often. Daily doesn't seam like too much to ask in the internet age. People would be less likely to keep a 30 if a 40 was already weighed in on a given week or a 40 if a 50 was weighed in for a given month, etc.
As far as the factor goes, there is no factor that will ever be considered fair. They could separate it into boat and surf but then it would lose something by having each one less competative. Looking at the number of boat vs. surf 50s weighed in or comparing the angler of the year boat and surf averages, I don't think the 1.3 factor is far off. Especially when you have commericial guys and commerical fish involved (higher limit, more ability to "cull"). In general though, I agree that 1.2 factor seams reasonable. Any factor will lead to "oh, well they had the surf factor" type thoughts and not having a factor would lead to "how are surf guys gonna compete, might as well not bother."
As far as the number of fish kept, I think alot would have been kept anyway. There's lots of people involved for one. Also, there are commercial fisherman involved - why wouldn't they weigh in at least one fish per week during the commercial season, they're keeping them anyway.
just a few thoughts.
