Originally posted by FLOOREDOK guys… its messed up to put the three guys who dive together against each other. Why don’t some of the brave crews from our coastline take on the three of us… Steven, Rob and Myself?? You guys can choose any three ya want… any three ya want… I have heard all the stories about how great some of the crews around here. Lets see how they stack up to our crew instead of trying to break our crew up !!! I will bet the farm on the dream team against who ever !
now read my quote !!!
YA CAN’T GET IT DONE TALKIN BOUT IT !!!
Kent you know I love ya like my long lost brotha but you are drawing quite a line in the sand on this one. Sounds like you are calling the charleston diving/fishing community out!
Due this old west style put the rules out you want us to beat you by, date, time, and place.
I know you do the spearboard so you can borrow their rules if you want. Make a suggestion.
If is sounds good I am sure you will get some support.

You can say what you want about the South, but you never hear of anyone retiring and moving north.

One more thing, Yellabird you don’t need them boys. Stay on my boat, I need you more than they do!

I agree with Kent. There’s got to be more than 5 or 6 guys around here that want some sort of a competition. How about Greg and Skinee and that crew? How about Tommy and that crew? How about the bug catcher and that crew? We could come up something. There’s enough guys around here to have a friendly competeition isn’t there?

Yella…I’m interested.
How about a CharlestonFishing/CharlestonDiving sponsored tournament moderator?..or whoever’s out there. Rob would probably be a good source for getting this done. How about another project Rob? You need one more

I think more realistic is just an honor system type deal on rob’s website.
It’ll be hard to do any kind of offcial weigh-in with you guys going out of Georgetown (or wherever you yankees dive out of), and us out of Charleston.

Sorry, chuck has commitments to our team.
We thought about having a friendly charlestondiving tournament but got kind of scared of the legal aspect. Competitions tend to make people dive deeper and more than they usually do.
We have a yearly Leaderboard over on Charlestondiving.com but i have been slacking a bit and haven’t kept up with it. 
Kent and I competing against each other would just be plain ugly. I’ve been getting more into wreck exploring lately.

Darn Lawyers. Speaking of wrecks…call me. As for the tourny, or “leaderboard award ceremony”, middle grounds could be Seewee Outpost. I know one of the owners. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind having a weigh-in/party there post spearing. Just throwing another idea log on the fire. We’ll see what happens.

Who would be compete against? Who does CharlestonDiving fish with? He is the biggest boat whore in Charleston . FLOORED says that he and CharlestonDiving are on the same team, but CharlestonDiving has spent much more time on other boats. It’s like pointing to the slut in the back of the room that everyone has banged and introducing her to people as “my girl”. I’m just kidding rob, you are not a slut. You are my girl
To me it sounds like one big frat party sock hop and nobody knows whose team they are on.
Also, it’s not really a fair competition. It isn’t much fun when you put a few tech divers on a boat that can dive the big ledge against people who are bound by recreational dive limits.
Everyone has the same opportunities when diving cold-water months. Few fish on the big ledge, but lots on the inshore stuff. The last 5 trips we’ve made have been in less than 100’. It’s just a way of leveling the playing field. Besides, I’m starting to agree with Rob. Maybe we should just organize a party around the leaderboard idea. Awards/prizes to be given out for the leaders at the party. Seems much simpler this way.

Some of us don’t like cold water.
I here tell of some really big teethy critters with white bellys swimming around in this cold water lately.

A formal tournament might be too complicated, but a “keep the score” day followed by a big ass fish fry could be a lotoffun.
Here’s an idea for scoring. (nothing in stone…up for debate…editable)
Gag…. (>20lbs = 14pts), (15 lbs to 19 lbs 15ozs=12 pts), (<15 lbs = 10 pts)
Scamp….(>20lbs = 14pts), (15 lbs to 19 lbs 15ozs=12 pts), (<15 lbs = 10 pts)
Red Snapper….(>20lbs = 14pts), (15 lbs to 19 lbs 15ozs=12 pts), (<15 lbs = 10 pts)
Hinds….(>5lbs = 8pts), (<5lbs = 4pts)
Hogfish…. 10 lb minimum….(>20lbs = 14pts), (<20lbs = 12pts)
Sheephead….(>10lbs = 8pts), (<10lbs = 4pts)
Flounder….4pts
Cobia….(>35 lbs = 20pts), (< 35 lbs = 15pts)
African Pomp……(>25lbs = 20pts), (<25lbs = 12pts)
Amberjack….(>20lbs = 10 pts), (<20lbs = 7pts)
Mako….100pts
Yellowfin….50pts
Wahoo….(>40 lbs = 45pts), (<40lbs = 30 pts)
There are some other “yankees” who would participate. I can think of at least two more teams out of the MI area. I would be more in favor of a weigh in type tourny vrs the leaderboard idea, that way I can see the disgust on your faces when your trophy goes north.
You skinny guys just need to put on a few more pounds and then you won’t mind the cold so much.
Edit: That point system looks great. It would cut down on the mess of taking the fish down to a check in and not reward a luck fish.
