Am I correct in assuming here that: 1). all jackpot fish must be weighed from a certified scale in order to win that jackpot and/or big fish catagory. 2). that no BWE moderator or employee is entered in this contest to avoid pregidous or bais opinions. 3). any jackpot fish that is weighed from a hand scale may be disputed?.

This is what turns me off about WCW. Seems as though the aspect of "competition among friends" has gone out the door. Maybe all participants with a commercial association should also be DQed. Wouldn't want any bias opinions or prejudices based on potential business and advertising opportunities. |

I don't see a need to place special restrictions on the OEX/BWE guys. The ones that I know have all shown a great sense of integrity, just like most other fishermen I know.
However, I do agree with Dave that certified weights should be required for all jackpots (not just the monthly, which I believe is all that is called out in the current rules). I would even go so far as to request that the option of using a hand scale (or any non-certified scale) for regular submissions (not just jackpot contenders) be removed. This just removes the possibility of someone unknowingly weighing a fish on an inaccurate scale. With only six fish in a year, this could easily come down to ounces. Now if only I could catch a fish worthy of a certified weight... Last edited by esdees; 06-25-2008 at 11:06 AM. Reason: clarification |

Now its coming together, OEX and BWE are the same so therefore all the guys that "work for" or "sponsored" by OEX also are related to BWE in some capacity. I did not know this! Three fourths ( don't quote me on this one, just throwing out a number) of all contestants that are entered in WCW are oex-bwe guys, this therefore answers one of my questions, the majority rules and that there is not just one or two "judges" as I had assumed. Thanks for your patience!
