I have been off of the water for quite some time due to a job change (going back to work). I think I have wet a line maybe three times since June 1st. However I still will make my contribution to the Arne/Brad/Andy/etc. fund next year. I like reading the reports and getting the recent intel for the times I can make it out. It's my way of participating.
As for rule changes, I liked the format this year, I don't know that I would tinker with it much. The weighing of one exotic I thought was pretty cool. Reading the report from the lamb crew's paddie hopping sounded like fun. My brother is about done with a project boat that would be a perfect mothership for offshore paddie hopping. All I have to do is convince him to do it.
One thing I thought might be kind of fun would be to identify a few of the tournaments such as Dana, the Moyer and BWE's tourney and count fish submitted there as double points for the WCW. It would give people a chance to possibly make up some ground.
Regardless, I'll sign up next year.
Dave
