Shared weight in 2005?
I was looking at the open/elite 50 trail for next year and they had a
paragraph about riders will now have a 3-fish limit but will get to count
their driver's 5-fish limit to their total? I thought a bit about this but
it just doesn't seem to sit well with me. It is possible that a person with
no fishing ability could pay the entry fee, do nothing, and still place
somewhere in the money because of their driver.In fact, a good rider could be punished with a bad driver while a bad rider
could benefit from a great driver. Am I misunderstanding this or does this really seem as bad as I think it
sounds? |

| Sounds like they are copying what the walleye trails have done for years.

it takes is being partenered with a very skilled pro. As a rider, I could
cull 3 bass for 12 lbs which is a pretty decent limit..but get killed
because my driver sleeps at the wheel. Christopher |

| Let's just say that winning as an amateur in these things has little to do
with skill. It's all about getting the good rides. Warren |

that more and remove any competition on the rider side. BTW - I haven't heard from Bill so I'm assuming there was no rider seat
available for either the next two tournies? Christopher |

| I believe you are paired up for Round Valley with Bill. I could be
wrong, but that's the way I remember it going down. I have to suffer
behind the human vacuum for that tournament and hope he leaves a dink
or two for me. I can see it now: 50 fish caught, 0 fish weighed...all
11 3/4 inches long. Warren 5 fish 21bs...If we don't sink, that is.

| You are correct, Chris is with Bill at RVR. No seat on the river for him
unfortunately. As for you Harry, just call me "Hoover". lol, we'll have a blast (if we
don't sink). Warren |
