No spear this year.

We talked about it and decided to go with a lobster bounty. Heaviest bug wins.

There'll be a $500 prize package on that one. Dive gear and a trip for two to the O with Holy Spear It.

It's your future

I am not clear on something.  In the offshore slam, you HAVE to have a fish of each species to qualify?  My boat is broke right now so it may be a moot point, but I haven't caught a trigger fish in years.  If I have to have one I will save my $200 slam entry.  Kings, jacks, snapper, and grouper I might be able to find but not triggers.  In this thread it sounds like you HAVE to weigh one of each species for the slam.  The rules / entry don't mention this.

Also doesn't federal snapper close on Aug 5th?  Isn't that a problem?

You DO NOT need all five to win but if one guy catches five and one guy catches four, the guy with five wins.
If we didn't do this, then someone with a stud king and a AJ could come in and beat everyone who got decent sizes of all five.
If no one catches all five, then the heaviest four wins -- regardless of species that were or were not caught.

And yes, federal waters will be closed and it WILL cause us problems.
We're all ready talking to a polygraph examiner because we know someone will call BS on a 20-pound snapper caught in state waters.
I'm not saying it can't be done, I know where a few live, but if there's a dozen 20+ snappers brought in, we'll be testing A LOT OF PEOPLE.

Sorry about that. We got an offer we couldn't refuse and moved it.

Tommy Holmes of Outcast Fishing & Hunting invited us to be part of the Mega Shark. Who could say no to Tommy?
