If you catch a true hitch hiker it's fine. If you see a fish on your hook and send it back down its baiting. Baiting is not allowed.

Good questions... Keep 'em coming.

You better define "true hitchhiker". I get it, but some may not.

I will give it shot.

I feel a small fish on my line and leave it down, even though I have not reeled it in yet. I know it is there, but say to myself, why not leave it on just in case. I never "saw" it. This is baiting.

I am reeling in a fish that I just hooked and as I fight it to the surface the rod gets heavier and I discover that on the way up a big ling latched on to my smaller any species fish. This is a hitchhiker.

This is going to be an integrity issue. For the sake of making this a fair and fun tournament like it has been these last few years, DON"T try to get away with something just to win. Ask yourself how you would feel if you tried as hard as you could to win, you catch a 35" 15lb ling that should win the tourney, but lose because someone cheated.

Hope this helps. If I a wrong in your personal definition Ruben I will delete this post.

Have fun y'all.

EXACTLY! I should have said if you KNOW there's a fish on the line and you leave/send it down. THAT'S BAITING!

Swivel for joining line is OK.

tough call to make, but i have decided not to fish this tourney as ill be physically unable to do so.  but ill be there for at least the potluck, raffle, and awards ceremony.  there's chance i might arrive Friday night to hang out, if its the case, ruben, i can volunteer with whatever we need to do as far as inspections, etc.

really wish i could fish, as its my favorite tournamenr, but my well being is a lot more important than this.  i guess the fish will live another day with out me on the water.

hope to see new and familar faces there! cheers!
