RE: New Cabo Kill Tourney - Hard To Believe in 2008!
We received a similar email here at the Home Office. If they corrected their judgement errors in tourney format, no matter what prompted them to do so, then something good has happened. Personally, I'd like to see all the marlin events down there go all-release, but I understand that is an uphill fight against many years of tradition. Doesn't mean we'll stop trying, though ...
One point I think Harvey missed is demonstrated by his comparison chart of the various events. The ire demonstrated against his event wasn't because it was out of line with the other events - it isn't; rather, it was because in 2008, there's no excuse for a new event to be in line with the other events. WCBRT demonstrated that you can have a successful, profitable marlin tournament in which no marlin come to the dock - that's the format any new event should model, and what we will compare (favorably or otherwise) any new tournament against.
