Best to check with the OTW folks about this, they make the rules.
Of course, there is that whole "experienced fisherman" handicap factor we choose not to consider. All I know is that 28# fish I caught at age 13 was one helluva lot bigger than the #49's I caught at age 40?

The definition of "A Big Fish" from the BigFish is subjective at best! To a 12 year old a 28 inch fish is HUGE! To someone who lands his share of 20-30 pound fish, a 40 would be his bench mark! It all depends on the person on the butt end of the rod. To each his own, boat/surf.....there is no difference!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'd take #25 all day long and consider it a big fish on plugs. I think that the tackle you use also needs to be considered. I love light tackle. I got a #28 on the fly last year, that was a big fish.
