I see both sides of the subject and really dont know if one way or the other is better. It is nice I guess that BASS listens to its anglers and try's to work out the best situation.

I guess next they're going to ask KVD to only fish for about 2-4 hrs during the day so other anglers can feel they're on a level playing field.

Then they need to give out a trophy to every angler so no one gets their feelings hurt like they do with kids sports now days. I'd hate for someone to feel like they couldn't compete with the big boys.

I like it as well. Anything that can be done to keep the playing field as level as possible is good for the sport.

Is there any rule against dropping the lower unit off your 250 and putting on a jet drive for those "special" occasions?

Rojas' comment about Nascar is a little off. During the course of the season, a Nascar driver uses many different cars built for specific tracks. They have road course cars, short course cars, restrictor plate cars, etc....Some of them use a car one time for a specific track and never use the car again. The cars look the same but are completely different in their purpose.

I love Biffle's comments. "The boat he used to win the Open on the Arkansas RIver was just more convenient" give me a break! He new exactly what he was doing and where he was going which we all know was controversial in it's own right.

Exactly Z520, that's why I'm wondering about the lower unit switch for certain tournaments. FLW restricts jet boats in general, but it looks like BASS just wants you to stay in the same "boat". Does switching out lower units on the same boat keep you in the same "boat" rule?

By the way, there was a Z9 up there that final day of practice, I have no idea how he got up there either.

I had a similar discussion a couple days ago about "level playing field" with my brother. Back when this all started, they showed up at lake X and their boats were waiting, all rigged identically. That's where the competition is in my mind. No previous knowledge of what lake you were going to til you got off the plane and everybody had the same stuff except what was in your tackle bag.

I agree it may add uniformity to the field. Can't deny it's a crybaby rule. "Your 6" worm has one more sensual rib in it than mine, FOUL !"

It's coming.

I laughed at Biffle's comments, too Brady. About changing lowers, I'm not sure that's gonna be much help as the big glass boats aren't getting into the areas the little aluminums could anyway, jet or not. IMO.

Yea, I got a good laugh at Tommy's comment too. "It was convenient" However he was against it before the tournament. A bit hypocritical I think.

Will be a good rule. It should be most about the fishing and not a major factor like who has multiple boats or friends with multiple outfits.
