That was some high quality brown sugar. Having different a opinion is fine and encouraged, especially in a thread like this; but making assumptions about why I recommended changes and making some personal attacks wasn't so welcome.
It would be nice if a 26" tiger trout or cutt or brown, or 24" bow or 20" brook or bass, or 15" perch or crappie was somehow worth as much as a 32" mack or 36" musky. These are huge fish for there respective species, but someone could catch a 26" tiger trout, 26" cutt, 22" bow and 15" crappie and get beat by someone who catches a 30" mac and a 34" musky with an 18" bow, 11" crappie' 20" cutt, etc. But again, I prefer fishing for trout over musky and pike, and don't have as much time as I'd like to dedicate fishing trips for musky/pike (only could try one time last year).
I would like there to be some sort of equalizer by either limiting the amount of musky/pike/mack or creating a scale so that a trophy of each species are on an equal footing (a 26" cutt, bow, brown or tiger trout counting as much as a 36" musky or 32" mack).
I also like the idea of awarding 5-10 extra point for contestants with 5 species over 20" (if only one is a musky/pike/mack).
