Paul, while I agree with most of what you say, it seems JJ wants to divide the tourney into two totally seperate catagories, so for instance if you catch the biggest striper on a friend's boat and his boat is entered in the tournament, his boat should be entered for that fish and you should be entered for that fish as an individual. If the fish were caught on your boat and you entered for the boat, it should obviously be your boat's fish. If a friend (entered in the tourney) of yours fished on your boat that was entered in the tournament, it should be entered for him (individual angler), and your boat.

On another note, I would say that for shark and tuna, the time from port should be 30-40 hours because many of the tuna, especially yellowfin would be caught either at day break or at night (sharks too).

For most overnight canyon trips, you would leave the dock Friday at 10AM, get there, troll a few hours till just after sunset, chunk all night, go up on the troll again in the morning for a few hours and then reel em' up and head in, which, in the perfect world puts you at around 2PM Saturday back at port. Thats 28 hours If the seas get ugly, or there are significant mechanical issues present, the return time could easily be delayed by 2-8 hours.
