dude - I would hope you are not aiming that at me.
As I said, I too have fished and supported it every year. We are fishing it again this year, taking 5 kids with us (ages 10-14) with 4 of them first timers. We are in the governors cup but our plan is to have the kids fight all the fish - gamefish or bills - even if they lose it and it cost us points in the cup. I plan to bust my arse to catch them each a lot of fish - just like I do every day. I do not see the truth as being "negative crap". I was simply stating I think it is a shame to have to use this format (nmfs rules) when introducing young kids to our sport. Billfish and maybe mahi - probably will be plenty caught. Hoos and kings - doubt there will be many caught on circles - at least not if folks are being honest.
I started all this (wishing I had not at this point) with a serrious question about the format this year and got the answers I needed prior to the captains meeting (since circle hooks are not mentioned in the rules). Somehow it has turned into everyone thinking I am bashing the event - what a crock!! Maybe I am bashing nmfs rules - but my main point was it is a shame to have "new" kids troll for 2 days with nothing but circle hooks - makes for a tougher introduction in my opinion.
