There is no way in Hell I'm going to win, or even place in the top ten, but I'm going to compete. Trying to engineer parity will not work. Somebody who spends 150 days on the water is probably going to win. It doesn't matter if they can only submit one fish a month; they'll probably have twenty chances to get a big fish that month compared to my 4 or 5. I don't care. I enjoy reading their reports and learning from them. Winning WCW should be a reward for effort and skill; not luck. If you want to increase participation you should look at prizes for spots in the top ten. 5-10 is a possibility for those who don't get out quite as much. Reward those of us on the kayak fishing short bus and we will happily compete. :scratch: Hopefully, with increased participation we will have increased sponsorship and there will be swag for all.
