But not terribly severe minus the boundary issue last year. The tournament last year was quick (results took time though). No flight issues. This year, complete reversal. It's a fun tournament. A big tournament. Perfect for friendly competitive fishing. But now, even for me living just miles from the ramp I may have to consider taking this off my schedule. I do not want to crucify the volunteers. It's a tough gig. But they were out in this position because the tournament officials do not understand two scales means inconsistent results. I told themLast year to NOT run two scales. More opportunity for error. Even a tenth of a pound is very damaging, it costs tourney anglers 1000s of dollars a year. But 3.7 is an atomic bomb. I do actually put blame on the fishermen too. They could have started stepping up. But the minute they corrected the issue is the minute it became impossible to correct because now there is no consistent way to subtract the basket. Most fishermen have a damn good idea the difference between a 12 pound bag and a 16 pound bag. I mean a fat 18 incher fights to push even two and a half pounds. Give it a basket weight of 3.7 pounds and it's now a fat 23 to 24 inch fish!  But since the masses of fishermen didn't step up (only a few did) you noticed a chain reaction where they weren't going to forfeit their benefit if the next guy didn't. Their only option was to make it a one day shootout on day two but they told me no.- - - Updated - - -I guess I cannot upload a photo by phone to a thread?</blockquote>
