DF2 - Boundrys in tournaments are usually there for 2 reasons, one is so big/fast boats have less of an advantage over smaller slower ones who would not perhaps fish an event if they new it was unwinnable against the big boys, the other is when a small area may be restricted so you do not have a high concentration of boats all on top of each other, like around a FAD.
Both good reasons, but neither applies here. You have guys in Venice LA etc who have good shots at huge warsaws, the Keys have big snowys etc so why look to restrict to FL only? There was a pic in the gallery a while back of a 55# snown caught off cape canaveral I think.
I agree that Bahamian yellow-eyes are bigger and Belize is likely the only one to compete with us but I disagree that you or someone in LA can not compete in the grouper division against me. You have your tilefish division, fair enuf (even though I dont get a yellow-eye division to match) but the groupers are fair game all over.
BTW, when I do find el swordy over here I'm going to start b!tchin about entering the sword tournament on SFC too. As should Jerry down in Jamaica.
All the best for 2007
