Lets say you weigh in a decent fish, then say on the next night you happen to score big in a larger catagory...can you weigh it in or are you limited to one one weigh in per week? Not that this has happend to me or anything

S/M
you can only turn in one fish per week ..

so /you would have to have the weighin station hold the slips /or get in another weighed before the 1st slip was sent >><><><

Or keep it on ice for the week, the good thing is that if you fish weekends the week starts on Sunday, If you do good on Saturday and weigh a fish and do better Sunday you can weight that fish to.

There should be an exception to that rule. 50 and maybe less

The rule says u can only submit one fish per week how u do that is up to u.the week starts on sunday.
Anybody notice some errors in the weight totals.
For instance:What is ? 38.2+33.25+33.25+31.1
What is ? 39.12+35

For instance:What is ? 38.2+33.25+33.25+31.1- maybe a couple of them are boat fish? Just a guess.

Ya thats what I was thinking also.Replace one baot 30 with 2 20lb class fish.I threw back a 20 lb class fish last night.I't won't fit into the equasion when it's all said an done.But the 30 I got in early May before i signed up is gonna come back to haunt me.

Actually the week starts on a Monday for the tournament so if you catch large on Saturday you can't weigh in another fish until Monday.

From the On The Water Site:

Weekly awards will be given to the largest fish each week. Weeks follow a traditional Monday to Sunday format.

I would predict the best five surf will be around 185#for 5 fish. Best boat will be around 240# for 5 fish. Best club will be around 450# for 10 fish.

I think ur totals are a little high.U have to remember that its only one fish per week.This format makes u have to earn em.U get a good batch of fish for a few days an u land a few good ones an then they are gone.U can only wiegh one.I have 5 fish this yr that go over 180 lbs Total. but I only have 3 weighed in for the tourney.i think when my next fish gets posted i will have something just over 110 with the 30 lber I got the week before i signed up that would have gave me 140 for 4 fish.an the rest of the yr to try to fill out the last slot.Thats a good spot to be sitting in.don't forget the tourney ends in sept.

i didn't write I just copied and pasted it....i agree, I thought the traditional week started on a sunday too.

Mr. Sandman · 07-07-2006, 07:35 AM

I would like to suggest a rule mod that lets you weigh in a fish in a larger catagory then the previous fish in the same week. For instance, you weigh in a fish in the 30# catagory, the next night you land a 32, you should NOT be allowed to weigh this fish but if you caught a 40#er or greater you should. And so on, if you catch a 50 the night night after thet you should be able to weigh it as well. I understand the move towards a 1 fish limit per week but it makes no sense in this format to have no exceptions.

Jonesy · 07-07-2006, 11:03 AM

my bookies week is monday to sunday so I guess that kinda traditional?
