And i have another question { not trying to stir the pot} what about the guys who work on boats the captain usually takes care of reporting the fish so how will that work out..

Mike · 10-23-2009, 02:18 PM

If the captain reports it, do you best to get those numbers from him/her. The more info you provide with your catch, the better off you will be with the judges...
