No................you said PMTT wasn't allowed to use fish under 40" when at Chaut., like your tourneys are now? Even your earlier tourneys you had when it was prizes not money we counted fish under 40" so I just didn't understand that thinking. As long as they weren't being hauled around I don't see a problem with a measurement for pleasure fishing or during a tourney that is all. Every Muskies Inc person is measuring every fish they catch to go towards their points.
I even measure under 30" fish to see if I catch a good number around the same size just to see if there is a group that took well during stockings. Just kind of see what's coming up for years to come. We caught 2 that were 24" on the money and also heard of another caught that was 24" all with a fin clip which is exciting.

The finals were at Chaut. in 2004 and the winners (not me) boated 7 fish and 6 were under 40" and they counted towards their winning points.
I've never fished the PMTT, yet.

I guess I don't understand what changed from then to now? That was what I was questioning, that's all.
