I've fished this tourney many years now and have turned a 105inch blue marlin back to sea but that was a year where 3rd place was over 600lbs. You have to understand that when fishing this tourney and there are no qualifying 3rd place fish and for that matter a small 2nd place fish any fish that looks close is going to die. If I had a girthy looking 105 inch blue I would not even think twice about killing it. Yes some of those blues that where in the 300s probably should not have been gaffed but it is what it is and the fish did meet the min. length so there is no wrong doings there.

If I was in across the board and did not know what calcuttas each qualifying fish were in I would bring in a legal fish. Would not be the first time a 2'nd or even 3'rd place fish brought in more money than 1'st.

and you only have to this tournament to see the 3rd place white paid more than the 2nd place fish

There ya go. Seems to me I remember the OC shark tournamet posting the calcuttas of the leading fish. I could be wrong, memory aint what it use to be. Does the WMO do this ?

[Robja]

Don't know about WMO I was just going by what was posted in the recap. I remember several years ago it happened in the Big Rock where the second place fish won more money because the first place fish wasn't in all the categories.
