kilog Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It may have been mentioned in the fourteen previous pages, honestly I didn't read the first ten. How about Regional Battles for the Underground? Maybe Northeast, Southeast, Northern, Midwest, West, and California? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It was an idea I had. I doubt it would grow wings here. The only way to make it even remotely close to an even playing field would be to split the country into four sections. NE, NW, SE, and SW.. Then do a total length plus weight total for each fish from each section of the country. So lets say a 26" 11# fish from Alabama would be bigger than a 25.5" 11# fish from Georgia. Even though the weight is the same the length is the tie breaker. The sections/divisions of the country would only compete against themselves until the last month of the season then the top 12 anglers would compete against each other (the top three from each division) for AOY in a sudden death shootout. As for spots and smallies there is a calculator that can be used to level the playing field for those two species. I believe it is the AMI Calculator. Or you can use length first and weight as the tie breaker because we have all caught skinny fish that were either post spawn or under nourished. Ultimately it does not matter though. Big fish don't just jump into peoples boats you have to put the time on the water. A 7# LMB is a nice fish no matter what part of the country you live in. And the vast majority of bass anglers will never see a DD fish in their lives let alone catch one regardless of what part of the country they live in or what type baits they throw.....

evilcatfish Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Or had Regional sub forums.? what do u mean by that I assume he means like we have sub forums titles "flip side" and "got em" add subforums like "northeast" and "southwest." Could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyc Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Like Wayne said. Doesnt really matter cuz it's not gonna change the way I fish. We are doing some New England contests lately and having fun with that. Those are enough to keep me busy... Let's do it State by State heaviest Bass, then, throw all the names in a hat, and, pick a name in front of ten witnesses.... I don't know..free or not, this is another reason I don't do any type of tournaments any more. My heaviest bass in Massachusetts was over ten pounds, and, don't think I'll ever do that again...But there's hope.. one cast at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delawareswimbaits Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Or had Regional sub forums.? This. Seeing big fish from cali is cool, but seeing fish like SPEEDS 8#er makes me want to quit "Not Allowed" footing and go fish. I say do regional tournaments, and send all the winners to Cuba or Mexico to fish for a week and see who comes back with the biggest fish. No home lake advantage. If you don't come home because the drug cartels got you then your automatically disqualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaswimbaiter Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Cali should be excluded altogether, that would solve the problem. Oli amd Mike both have 17s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since catching that monster, I grew a foot taller and gained about 100lbs. Lost the tan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
