Cool HOLD the 2016 BBO DATES - The Official 2016 BBO Rules Discussion Thread

LATER EDIT - SEE THE FINAL RULES HERE:

The Big Bang! Open is set for the weekend of July 22-24, 2016. We are returning to that same wonderful new venue as last year - the Moose Lodge in Palm Beach Gardens which is very close to I95 and the Florida Turnpike.

The registration process will start soon, but in the meantime, weighmaster Captain Randy Docks, MC Captain Billy Black and I have been revising the rules which are attached in DRAFT form. Please take a look at them and give us your comments and questions by posting in this thread.

The main changes compared to last year is removing Warsaw Grouper as follows:

GROUPER CATEGORY - Species of legal Grouper eligible for this category might include Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Yellowfin Grouper, Yellowmouth Grouper, etc. as long as they are legal to harvest in federal or state waters where you are hunting. However, due to the very limited state waters area where Warsaw Grouper may exist and in the spirit of regional shooting opportunity fairness, Warsaw Grouper may NOT be harvested for the Big Bang Open. The Florida single-day possession rules at the weigh-in location in Palm Beach County apply to other groupers. For example, you may weigh in only one black or gag grouper.
