Kyle1387 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Also question about the mass record for anyone in here. Thats regarded as bs correct? I've seen the pond it was taken out of and there's no way its real unless the dude was actively feeding it JoshPerkins802 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streamer Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 It’ll be a long while before anyone beats 22 pounds in Georgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPerkins802 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Its been beaten. Probably multiple times. Just not within the criteria they use to classify a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhuddfish Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Arizona is going to need a 15lb handicap the way the salt river lakes are dying gradycodd, azfisher and Jon P 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewm42 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Anyone else feel like Georgia should be part of the 0lb handicap has a bigger state record than all other 0lb states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon P Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Simplest way to do this would be to express the score as a percentage of a state record rather than giving regions an addition of a set measure of weight. Could also give an added bonus to largest fish overall. Also Montana's state record is 8.80 lbs as of 2009. (your fish)-(state record)/(state record)=(your score) CG_Fishes, 168 Rookie and jachandl1989 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia has big fish but their state (world) record is not really representative of what size fish they have there now. I actually don’t think that George Perry’s world record was legit but that’s just speculation and doesn’t really matter.

(your fish)-(state record)/(state record)=(your score) SU actually takes into account past entries as well as some other factors (if I’m not mistaken) so that it’s not simply based on state records. The problem with only using state records is that many of the records don’t represent what kind of fish are actually alive and catchable now in a particular state (Georgia is a good example). SU moderators regularly monitor the handicaps and adjust as needed to keep things as fair as possible. Also, just to help with your equation, this equation would give you either a negative number or it would give you exactly 1 lb less than your fish’s weight. But, I see where you were trying to go with this. It’s a clever idea. A scoring system could probably work if the right formula was used.

Drewm42 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 @Jace D I gotcha didn’t dig into it that deep. SU has a pretty good system here, but I feel like a 2lb bump for all those southern states is a bit much. I grew up in PA and I know that at least where I grew up the chances of winning the tourney are pretty slim. Also, I would only get half a pound more than southern states with much bigger fish, a lot more of them, and a much longer growing season. Glad I’m in Florida all winter and can chase some real pigs!
