this is not like spliting tournament winnings or spliting up a fish that is caught.

This is coming from a non boat owner and I think this would be fair

or am I reading too much into this ????

Look at it this way, if you have to have the HMS# its going to be under the boat anyway, so it really would be a boat tournament.

It is a photo contest

Mike · 11-30-2006, 01:02 PM

Good Argument, but if the captain is not an SFC member, then he couldn't enter the fish anyways.

I'm a bit concerned that the angler might have a tough time getting the HMS number if he is not the one actually reporting it on the boat... I would really like the HMS numbers to promote the reporting of fish, but may decide to make it optional. Any thoughts?

But as QQ said, this is just a photo contest. Basically, the sfc member with the biggest fish caught and photo to prove it wins.

BTW - Tek from

is awarding 4 windon leaders to the winner also. www.reelproshop.com

Nope. We will ship out the prizes anywhere in the U.S.

"I'm thinking we go by the biggest fish in length/girth for a swordfish contest"

Most of the guys I fish with are members of SFC so no worries there

Just saying if the boat owner has one or two they could sell it if they want to cover the cost of owning the boat or it goes to the teams assets for Swording not an individual unless you are on a paying Charter.

Sorry to be a pain about this

Ya it is the biggest fish wins (declared by judges) and must follow all the rules/guidelines on the first page of this thread.

But this is not considered tournament, but more of a photo contest with prizes (this way there are not much politics involved).
