Tunament

[trapit]

Are we gonna do like in years past with the $50 dollars a boat and whoever catches the most tuna gets the money?? Our stupid selves didn''t enter last year but caught the most fish...we want some money now!!!

Sounds good to me! We can always make the arrangements while we hang out at the BBQ!

We will be in this year...Last year we ran out of freezer,refrigerator,Coolor Space before everyone got there!! This year that will not happen. Cant let that Fernando guy feel like its a cake walk up here!! How is it going to work best YFT tuna? Best Bigeye? Best total weight of 1 each YFT, Wahoo, Dolphin? Side bet on a Bill leadered at the boat?? Dang we could have a few things going on this year......Mark

I'm broke...so how bout I buy in at less money and then the pay out comes to me at a corresponding percentage of the total collected monies when I win...with the rest going to whatever loser comes in second?

mmmm I believe you bribed him to jump our ship last year!!! He is just heading back to where it all started!! Really he has his plate pretty full right now so we are not 100% sure he will be here. Josh and mike can run my ship without me I think I will grab the Bean Bag this year!! Mark
Hopefully we will get a few warm up runs out of Hatteras then move move up the coast to OI as the tuna move. I am doing the service this weekend on the boat then we will be ready to roll. Had a good January trip out of Southport as a warm up.... Mark

Sounds good, only whole fish count though.

Would that be the most fish per angler on each boat. Some boats might only fish 2 people and some might fish 5. So it should be a average amount of fish per angler on the boat since each angler can ony keep three. Or we could go by total weight or Largest YFT and then Largest Big Eye ?

Example
3 anglers keep 5 fish = 1.666 fish per angler
4 anglers keep 6 fish = 1.50 fish per angler

More anglers on a boat would be able to keep more fish so the most fish wont work it would have to be a per angler on the boat or by largest fish. In the past some boats only had two fishing so it wouldnt be far for them. How many days can should we count?

1 out of 4 days
2 out of 4 days
3 out of 4 days

I would say 2 out of the four days should count with 2 lay days.
But you must declare what days you want to count before you head out for the day.

Any thoughts Mark

[welder]

$100.00 a BOAT for the 4 days

25% pay back at the end of each day for BIG FISH any speices

Bad day no fish , money for that day [ 25% ] add that day to the next.



No fish caught , Then it all goes to TBR so Matt can through a Kick Butt Party..

OK, that last idea might not work. :-]

I talked to him today and he said that he's planning on the first part of the week with you then fishing friday and saturday with us...maybe he thinks towards the end of the week that you'll find an excuse like you caught to many fish and have no where to put them.
