Good rule. Two of the Opens next year take place on the Arkansas and Red rivers. A tunnel hull boat gives you a huge advantage on those fisheries. Everyone is always whining about making the sport fair for the average guy. The average guy doesn't have a 50k aluminum rig to give himself a competitive advantage on shallow fisheries.

Someone will always have an advantage. More money for more and better gear, more time for practice, more info. Simple fact of life. You have to learn to compete in life and fishing with what you have.

In the interest of educating the masses... which way would that be?

If you are holding the bass and look at the lower jaw underneath you will see where there are 2 "pockets" if you want to call it that that meet and have a ridge. right where the pockets meet the ridge the skin is very tough and if you insert the cull tag right there it won't flop around and tear a bigger hole. I will try to find a pic of this on my phone and share it. if you just insert it in the looser skin below that tough spot OR in the upper side of the jaw(near the roof) it ends up tearing a big hole in the fish.

Took this yesterday as I didn't have any pics of it. As close to the jaw as you can stick it and the skin is really tough there.
