Diver of the Year 2012: DOTY

Though i'm no diver, i'm still gonna say crabs sound like they suck for this competition    You should focus on fish where the point ranges are at least worthy of competition.  A legal dungie at 5 3/4 only gets as big as 8 inches from what i've seen.  Is this forager of the year, or diver of the year?  Stick to the fish is my opinion   

I hear ya Al, but diving to me is a combination of hunting and gathering...a fat dungie would be more of a challenge to get diving IMO than an 8-9 inch abalone in a lot of areas, but a lot of guys are REALLY into diving for abalone....

My gut feeling is to try to be as inclusive as possible (within reason)....I've dove for crabs once and it was hard chasing the boogers! If some guys are into that and want to use a dungie as one of their top ten entries I don't see the downside?

 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

So Jim, what happened to the crabs and scallops?

LOL! 

The three man DOTY committee voted on the final list of categories (looking at various criteria, difficulty of measurement being one of them)...I'm only one voice, but I think the categories we ended up with still provide a lot of chances for fun and games.

Small fish (target) is harder to shoot so you must be a "sharp" shooter!
