 I cannot believe this happened to me again! So its tournament day for redfish, the only day I get to fish for the entire week. I notice before I go out that two redfish were already posted on the leaderboard. Since my dad and I were fishing together, I knew one of us could fill up that other spot. My dad catches a redfish about 21 inches. 5 minutes later, I catch a 19 incher. Im thinking to myself, "well, there's only one spot open, so my 19 incher isn't going to do anything." I throw him back without a second thought. Turns out someone else's redfish that was on the board got kicked off for some reason, which means MY redfish would have taken 3rd place. I CANNOT BELIVE THIS HAPPENED AGAIN!!!!! My dad (ISeeSpots2) and I (ISeeSpots) could have taken 2nd and 3rd in the tournament. Instead, the 3rd place went unclaimed. Wow....I don't know what to say. It was a good day fishing though. Ironically, my trout was bigger than the redfish, but not big enough to place in the money. It was about 20 inches and got me 6th place. O well. Here's what I can guarantee. I GUARANTEE that the next free redfish tournament in a few weeks will have both my dad and I on the payout leaderboard. I'm going out in faith and in sheer determination because this will NOT happen again! :) I'd love to hear your comments, or if you just wanna laugh at my circumstance, just do it! Thanks again bounty admin for putting redfish and trout on the schedule. I hope you had enough interest in the trout division to keep the tournaments going. Is anyone else interested in more redfish tournaments. Post here and lets see if we get enough for admin to put one together in the next few weeks. ~Tightlines and screamin drags to ya!

As the old adage goes it ain't over till it's over! The leaderboard may not always be updated and the fish on it may not have passed BOUNTY forensics so it is always wise to upload whatever sized fish you catch and cross your fingers until Monday morning!

for sure always upload and hope for the best..what the leaderboard says is sometimes felonious till monday..some people just shouldn,t use tape measures thank god these guys dont build houses.just post it..and be modest with your measurement and anything can happen...but dont feel bad my 1st week I entered a $1000 smallie with my glasses on...dohhh..went out and got another but placed 4th that week...so to say we are all men and just have to suck up our mistakes but most impotantly learn gl next1

you should always post your fish even if its not the top 3 "at the Time". This is the second turny that i have been bumped up because some one got D-Q or had a bad ruler. its not over till the fish have been verified, which doesn't happen till after the event. anyways i'm down for more saltwater fish tournaments. tight lines and good luck!!!!

Son, I'd love to have some more redfish tournament and would enter every week there is one. Just be prepared to be beaten again by your dear old dad! :)
