c'mon bd, lighten up.. Its just a discussion. I do know what happened, thats what the post is about.. Kindly give me just a bit of credit.. I have been at this a very long time, and even had articles published in a well known magazine about bottom fishing, I have seen a LOT of fish over the years.. I can tell when one fish is bigger and heavier than the other..
I never had to "move on", because it wasn't that big a deal.. I got beat out of a few bucks, big deal happens a lot to a lot of people.. I just thought it would make a good mid winter discussion, and have found that a lot of other anglers can relate similar instances of their own... No need for anger, its just a fishing forum thread.. Doesn't mean all that much in the grand scheme......bob

Here is one when the mate collects all the fares and pool money. Instead of going directly to the captain, he makes a detour to closed door room. After ten minutes he appears and go up to the captain. Fishy!

How about when the mate and captain sell their catches to the fishermen. And if one of the fish is a pool winner. The captain and mate split the pool. And use that fisherman name for the winner of the pool.

A mate will let the fisherman a free pass on the pool but if he caught the pool fish, the mate gets to keep the pool prize.

The best way is the way Frances Fleet does it. The fare and pool is collected at the shop, pool money has to be cash. The fare's names are written on the paper, Next to the names will be a check mark for the pool. The pool money is wrapped by the list names and it's handed to the captain. When there is a pool fish the mate will ask for your pool ticket. When it is a close call the Captain makes the final call

Party boat pool integrity was taken to a new extreme this past August in Hyannis when the Captain resorted to a digital scale back at the dock, rather than the balance. Son Brian was pleased

That would solve all the problems, and eliminate "human error", as long as no 16 ounce sinkers are involved.... bob

Many party boats here determine a close pool via a digital scale

This past spring I lost a pool by less than an ounce.

There's a weird north korean vibe to some of these responses, lmao.

Bob, unless Gerry pulls the thread, you can post whatever the f*** you want. This is a discussion board, and judging by 6 pages of posts, your topic is of interest. People should argue the merits of w/e position they hold, but no one should tell you to quit posting because you're "stirring the pot."
