But, the prize distribution is 65% to the first place team and 35% to the
second place team. Ties broken by big fish between the two.

Big fish pot will be 100% for the single largest fish caught during
the two
days.

Will do!

And since only one person had an objection to the rule about the five


fish

limit, we're going to keep it the same with no changes.

Sorry Chris... LOL


OK, now I am confused. The boat limit is 5, not an individual limit?
Then how did Fritz and Warren each weigh in five fish while fishing
together the second day of the Dale Hollow tournament? And how do you
decide individual prizes as has been done in the past?






Hmmm, I hope I didn't cause all of this MTC stuff by my shared weight
opinions. My biggest problem of all with it was what Velvick said,
about a back boater, missing a fish, and requesting the pro to pitch
back in there to catch that fish. I just don't get what kind of
satisfaction you can get out of that. I don't see how you can say you
did anything to win. If you just fish tournaments for monetary reasons,
then I guess that is fine, but I guess I am just motivated by something
else.

Again these were just my opinions, and of course B.A.S.S said they used
a lot of focus groups to determine if this was a good idea. I can bet
that the people with a competitive edge in their blood hated the idea,
and the pros are like..eh. Now like mentioned earlier, they don't have
to worry about back boating the amateur.
