might a make a suggestion that this is largest, fish by inches instead of total inches.

Thsi is why...
1. Someone like myself who fishes every single night, is going to be an advantage over someone who does not. but largest fish levels it out a bit
2. Dont mean to toot my own horn, but i catch alot of fish, taking pictures of everyone isn;'exactly the easiest thing, especially if its an every cast type bite
3. In somewhere like NJ, i can get fish from now till decemeber 31. someone in NE would be at a huge disadvantage

and a question
are skished fish considered shore caught?

Skished counts as shorebound.

Its total inches of the largest fish that wins. ONE fish not a compulation of fish. It would be way to hard to track if we did a total of all fish caught from now til december.

Sorry if I confused anyone.

If your gonna skish make sure you laminate your logo. ;D

I wrapped mine in tape to keep the water out.

[Fins 32]

Im sorry jay, i was reading this while i was eating dinner, must have missed that part. My bad.

i could also get the logo tatted to my hand, and just stick that in teh pic. haha

It started yesterday when I posted the first post. I did this so guys still have a shot with the fluke.

[Capt.Paul Peluso aka Pablo]

Forgot to measure the Pug Nose Striper today Dam I would have been in the lead


Eh it was only 35" I can do Better

[In The Wash]

That thing looks like it has a bluefish face. You need the logo photo too.

[kendibs]

pretty sure i'm hanging up all my rods now.

do deer horns count?

;D

[Fins 32]

you know, it would happen the night i get a 35lber i leave my logo at home. oh well. there will be others.

[smk379]

^^^thats funny I did the same exact thing. Bagged a 34 lber Thursday night with my feet planted on the shore, printed the logo out earlier that day but left it at home.

[smk379]

Also, I hate to be "that guy", and I'm usually never, but........ Counting skished caught fish as shore caught fish is really unfair to the surfcasters like myself. Fish caught skishing are not caught from the shore, it's not surfcasting. Not saying anything bad about skishing or anything like that so don't take it the wrong way, but it just doesn't seem right to count those fish in with guys that are actually catching fish while standing on the shore- whole different ball game.

[Fins 32]

i hear you on that, chances are i wont enter any skish caught bass. its hard enough to get pics out there with a fish, let alone get an image worth a measure and logo

i left my logog for my 35 in my dorm. my friend called me and was like suicide run mtk now. so we drove 4 hours fished 4 and came back home. epic night fish almost evrycast

[smk379]

Ha yea I guess that would be pretty hard to enter a skished caught fish anyway while still releasing it healthy, since you'd have to swim all the way back to shore with the fish for the picture.

I was in montauk all weekend for the tournament, and man o man was it some good fishing on certain night tides in certain locations.
