I keep having a vision of JT running around his house yelling......"there is no problem, no problem at all, I tell you there is NO PROBLEM! "
I did go back and read every post (again) as he suggested I had not done. What I see is his repeated effort to browbeat anyone who raised a question about the legality of the 2nd fish over 20" in the picture from page one.
My dad showed me where the fish live around here almost 50 years ago......stay out of MY holes.

I doubt the tournament could or should disqualify anyone this late in the game.
That doesn't mean that the anglers couldn't try to make whole those teams that would have finished ahead of them if they had weighed in their largest legal trout.
By my count, their legitimate position would have been 2nd place.

To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.
If the only team impacted is the second place team then we (my partner and I) will just forgive them and, hopefully, make this go away. A lesson learned by a lot of people and none learned by some. Let there be peace.

There is a difference between defending your position and browbeating.
I had already been fishing MY holes 10 years before you started trespassing.

Now that's what I call good sportsmanship!

Let all party's involved meet up at the boat ramp early one morning, have a friendly discussion on who owes who. Then you can bring your protest money to the NEXT RTSO. This one is over.
