cd7 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Just like a 6 lb LM from that same state would win. In that case we're still talking about pounds not species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd7 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Again, the only rule change would be a spotted bass or smallmouth bass could not get beat by a smaller fish.... that would be it. Very simple but again it's not up to me and let's be honest... I'm fishing for largemouth so I don't really care too much. It would be cool to win one with a spot or smallie though.

Yeah, thanks for making it simpler. It would be complicated if they tried to add a handicap for the other species and then a cross compare. Makes sense to me and I'm in favor as I only have fished for largies. Gosh I've never caught a smallie, spot, or striper!!! I have though caught what look like they could possibly be hybrids of either with largemouth but not sure. cd7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDBEAD Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Good discussion, but I'd be lying if I didn't tell you my brain hurts after reading all of that LOL Lurejerk and Lucid_Dreams23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stkbass Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong but looks like weight to beat is 9.09lbs. Gonna be tough top beat but will give it one last shot after work tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd7 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 STKBASS I don't know where you live and what your handicap is. There's a 6.59 from South Africa so if you don't get a handicap then yes that's probably right. I think SA gets 2.5 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd7 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Looks like it could be 2.5 or 2 lbs depending on what part he's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Nice fish Ryan, Colin and Travis With regards to spotties and smallies I think Waynem's suggestion of having Spottie & Smallie wildcards into the final is a great idea. Other than that they should get a +handicap. The "no handicap" system has a few problems: if Ohio Joe catches a 6# largie, Cali Bob a 6.1# spottie and Cali Rob a 6.2# largie, who wins? Joe beats Rob but not Bob, Bob beats Joe but not Rob and Rob beats Bob but not Joe. And then what if Joe smashes his state record with a 5.9 spottie...Shouldn't that beat a 6.1 Spottie from Cali?
