Chad, I know you and Kane caught most of the biggest fish. And since I initiated the 2006 change that gave more points to some bigger fish and less to some smaller fish, I guess you should both thank me.
Even so, it still makes sense to target maximum bags of small fish and consider big ones a nice bonus.
If it was the other way around - you absolutely had to catch the big ones and the little ones were worth bugger all - the advantage gained by fishing long hours would become less certain. This is absolutely the way to go, in my opinion. However, I'm well aware that people who have invested $$$$$ in quads and fish maximum hours absolutely hate the idea. It just wouldn't be fair. Which is why I cop so much flak at times, get told to buy a quad etc.
