Make sure you read the rules carefully, they have been CHANGED, you can only weigh in ONE grouper now.

We are trying to avoid swinging the advantage to the west coast or other places that can legally get two gags or blacks and not have to rely on reds to get two groupers for KLO purposes. We do not want to have to ask you where you shot them when you weigh in your fish. Here is the exact changed wording of the rules for this issue: CATEGORIES Grouper/Scamp* 24” Gag or Black; 20” Red; 20” Scamp **1 Fish Total The maximum number of fish that a contestant can potentially enter is eight (8). ** this KLO reduction from 2 to 1 in the grouper/scamp category is caused by law changes on the east coast of Florida. The new Fishing law is as follows: Quote:

With the advent of the new Amberjack closure we are doing some clarification on the rules and will answer any of the questions that have been posed shortly.

What about changing the cobia/aj category to "pelagic". Open it to legal jacks, cobia, scombrid, and dolphin?

By adding a sea cucumber category you'd attract more Key West shooters.

I think Tony shoud be forward looking and show some leadership in this regard. He should act responsibly and now make the contest based on the two largest grunts. That way he won't have to keep changing the rules every few months as the regulators shut down each recreational fishery....
