I have a question regarding the open division. This is what is stated from the ProAm website
"Levels of Competition
Recreational Open Division
The Recreational Open Division was created with the novice or weekend angler in mind.
My question is this. How do you have charter captains, some of whom on their website have placed in 19 different places in tournaments including three 1st places in Am division and other captains who have over 32 years of fishing in the Open Division with guys who are new and want to enter for the first time. It's like putting a fouth degree black belt with thirty years of martial arts training and winning numerous tournaments against and orange or yellow belt with one year experience and going into a tourney for the first time. Where is the fairness?
