Jerry's Redfish Tournament

[SHOWBOAT]

I just trimmed the lips down on my Stretch 25's to run in 18" of water. Its gonna be a good day. Casey, you got any steel leader left, they ran out at Walmart.

I like the pre-game preperation. Well played Jeff.

JT, you sure you have to work tomorrow? Sounds like it is going to be fun...

[Ty one on]

I will not be there. We will be having Shane's birthday party (#5). If anybody wants a turn in the Sponge Bob Bouncer stop by.

Happy Birthday to Shane from Bryce and I. Sponge Bob sounds fun, but I think we are gonna try this new fishing thing that everyone keeps talking about.

Haven't talked to Casey today, so he doesn't know I have a pack of Oscar Mayers and two cans of viennies ready to go.

[captkeyser]

Shoot, I knew I shouldn't have posted that. Bryce...... we're in trouble.

You're probably OK, Captkeyser. I couldn't find any Ball Parks.

Although I can not fish the Redfish tournament this month I do have a question about the rules.
Rule #7 states:
7. Each team will be allowed (2) Red Fish at weigh-in time. Each fish will be measured for legal lengh (18"-27")The fish will be measured with mouth closed and the tail pinched. The center of the tail will determine the fish's total length. Any illegal fish brought to the scales will be the responsibility of that team. Team will be disqualified. Each team possess a "golden rule" and verify its accuracy prior to blast-off. The official tournament ruler will be used for an accuate mesurement , provided upon request prior to the weigh-in procedure.

The center of the tail is not the measuring point per FWC regulations. The farthest tip of the tail is.
from FWC;Total Length is now measured from the most forward point of the head, with the mouth closed, to the farthest tip of the tail with the tail compressed or squeezed, while the fish is lying on its side. http://myfwc.com/marine/Fishing_Measurement.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Additionally the TEAMSEATROUT measurement rules state; a fish touching the measurement line will be considered over the line.
IMO touching is NOT over.
Like I said. I am not fishing it anyway.

Just my thought: Anyone running a tournament can set the rules any way they care to, as long it's within the regulations. I suspect the folks at JB&T wrote the rules that way to avoid any question.
