Mossback, we somewhat disagree with this. While
most anglers would rather catch one of these 3, consider any 8 lb fish.
There were hundreds of yellowtail this size caught this summer off of La Jolla by kayakers. It was quite easy to to do. And while one this size will give you a nice tow, is it more of an accomplishment than landing an 8 lb calico?
We would rather catch an 8 lb lingcod. And what about bay fisherman nailing an 8 lb yellowfin or spotfin croaker? That's close to a record size fish.
Besides, a person submitting an 8 lb barracuda would get only 8 points, while someone targeting a yellowtail might land one weighing 20 lbs or more, giving him/her 20 points or more.
The sheer size of the top 3 reward the anglers with more points. People would continue to mainly target these fish for points.
Again, just our 2 cents.
