Don,
I could not agree more...Having everyone registered is complete BS...The owner of the boat should be registered, if anyone should...
If some first time fisher comes on the boat and gets interviewed I would hate to hear some of the potential comments...
"uh yeah not too good of a day out there"
"Not sure but I think it was 3 marlins, uh yeah blue ones"
"um well we caught em on something called a surgical shad"
"those things have like 10 hooks man !"
"I dont know remember how they got the trasher, thresher, what ever, i think they used a graph, uh grapple, or maybe it was a gaffe, i dont know"
It is a hassle and a half to fill those things out, last year I printed them for all the folks that might be on the boat throughout the season...Just to save them the hassle and to insure I had them on hand...
Of course no one ever asked to see them, and you are right, no one is going to ask me at my marina how the day was anyway....
