LOC Derby Fish ?

[dvdegeorge]

Anyone know the scoop there was a 32lb and change salmon listed yesterday as the grand prize leader and today it's off the board???

Happens every year. Something "fishy" must have been determined by the LOC.

Heard all members on vessel weren't registered

 

Unfortunate for all parties, leaves a black eye for all involved....

 

But hey rules are rules for a reason

one member on board was  not  in derby, they thought he was but he called brian  later that night and  told him that he only got in the spring and not a season pass which brian had told him to do this spring.   so  brian called dave and had them remove him,    sucks for sure but  awesome of him being an honest man!

I know someone who wouldn't be welcome on my boat any longer...then to wait till after it was weight in and listed before you fess up is not cool

[JakeyBaby]

Black eyes for sure!

[Nautitroller]

So just a question, if you have an observer on the boat he or she must be registered?

[dvdegeorge]

If they are on the boat and not a young child they need to be registered

Good for the captain admitting the violation! Hopefully, he will not be banned from further competition, as we need more honesty in the world for sure!

My heart goes out to that Captain, been there done that! Kudos to him for doing the right thing.

[Sarah Chilson]

Yes, just to confirm the speculation....not all aboard were registered. It is always tough to disqualify participants. No one likes to hear they are out of the running for such a big cash prize and we REALLY hate this part of the job. We don't ever want to DQ anyone but being consistent with the rules & regs means we keep things fair for everyone. Good reminder to read over everything at http://loc.org/RULES_AND_REGULATIONS.html.

Good of him to come forth before the end , my opinion should not be penalized for any upcoming loc derbies.

Agree, and let's not forget, unless I'm missing something, he pulled himself out vs being DQ'd. That's a huge difference in my mind and if this is in fact the case kudos to him. Integrity at its best.

The captain has not been penalized in regards to the upcoming derbies. 

[rbonnell]

That's good news

Refreshing to hear a story about someone with integrity instead of the other way around-first class individual[emoji106][emoji482]
