Bryan, I think that is the best way to do it. I'm getting to old to lug dead, big fish a mile just to get a little bit of glory which is fading at best. I'll never win the cup because I can't stay with it nightly anymore like I used to . So why kill 30 lb. fish?????? I'll bring my camara and a scale. I released a few good ones last season and it felt good.

My sentiments exactly. Although I had fun competing for a few years, it really comes down to the guys that can stick with it daily/nightly who have the upper hand. It actually gets more stressful for me as I feel like there's a need to produce big every time out. Reality is I can't do it at that level for more than a few nights at a time, so its gonna be a fun thing this year. I'm planning on getting my oldest son into it this summer too.
