Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
They are doing what the Saltwater Classic did when they had a tournament, they are concerned about people bringing in "illegal" fish and FWC writing tickets at the event.....which makes no sense to only do redfish since you will get the same ticket for a short trout or if you have two over 19".
You deserve a ticket if you bring a short fish to tournament scales. you’re allowed to have a trout over 19, so putting it in the weighmaster’s hand doesn’t automatically mean an angler broke a law. If you bring a red over 27” it’s a bad look.
Not saying I agree with the rule (I don’t), but it makes sense to me.
I’m in the SA tournament but wish these folks luck.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.
