I'll be keeping up with. Hoping Sean and his partner win this thing.

Official results are not posted yet but I just got word that JOEY ROMERO & JESSE ROMERO are in 1st place with 17+lbs. I was also told that there are 16lb bags all the way through 7th place. Keep in mind that this is UNOFFICIAL & just word of mouth. I'll post results as soon as they are up...

Talked to Sean. Said they are in second pending a decision tomorrow. Supposedly a team claimed one of their fish to have an unnatural tail. WTF
Posted on 9/13/13 at 6:56 am to ryan985
I guess that would explain why the day 1 results have not been posted yet.
Unofficially I was told that 10th place is 15.90 lbs.

I was wondering about that..
Posted on 9/13/13 at 8:03 am to aVatiger
Yea there is a lot of controversy. Sean said they had 16.8lbs
Havent heard if they allowed the fish or not. Not sure what the tail would mean. A redfish is a redfish.

Saying they cut the tail, best thing to do is drop it on its nose.

Pretty sure they can't have a disfigured tail. Whether it be from a person or another fish biting it. Not positive though.

As u guys know, I have fished HT for the past couple of years. One of the rules that HT has regarding a fish't tail is as follows:
This rule is pretty straight forward. If the tip @ the top of a fish's tail is missing or altered in any way whatsoever, the fish is not gonna be weighed. It doesn't matter whether or not the angler trimmed the tail with a knife to make it shorter or an alligator gar bit the fish on the tail. If it's messed up, it's no good.
Believe it or not, there are people in this world who would cheat & trim a tail in order to win $40,000. This rule is in place to protect the anglers against those who would try & trim a fish's tail in order to make it measure in the slot.
I also want to mention that @ the captains meetings the tournament director goes over this rule & makes sure that everyone has his cell phone #. If guys go out & catch a fish that has a questionable tail, they are encouraged to take a picture with their phone & text or email it to the tournament director for a ruling. They even allow temporarily holding a 3rd fish in your livewell until you can get a decision on a questionable fish. There is no real reason to get a fish kicked out for a bad tail when all you have to do is snap a pic & send it in for a decision.
Anyway, I talked to the tournament director a few minutes ago & he said that the fish in question was DQ'd. There wasn't a protest or anything, it just didn't have a good tip on the top of the tail that was the longest point. He said the results will be posted shortly. He just wanted to give the anglers the news 1st & let the rest of the field know what was going on this morning @ the launch rather than having everyone find out on the internet.
Tough break for Sean & Eddie, those are some great guys.

What sucks more was that Sean and Eddie had already thrown their other fish back so they could not replace the fish with another.
They drove from Falgousts all the way to Venice

yeah that really sucks for them but i really don't understand how they could have brought in a fish weighing 5.95 lbs with a bad tail. Fish that size are a dime a dozen anywhere between houma & venice. The only thing that I can think of is that if they did infact make the run to venice they would have had very little time to actually fish. They probably got all excited with that monster fish & knew all they needed was a 6 pound kicker to go with it & as soon as they caught one they hauled arse back to houma not realizing that the fish had a jacked up tail.

Sean told me it was the net that slit the tail. Unfortunate circumstances!
He's one crazy mofo though. He was scouting in his tower boat a few days ago and went over the Point barre road during high tide. He said the water was over the road.

You know... a lot of guys on here gave me shite for buying a $120 landing net, but when you are putting up $10,000 in entry fees & fishing for $40,000, $120 is a pretty small price to pay to ensure that something like this doesn't happen during a tournament.
If this is really what happened to the tail, I know Sean & Eddie must be sick...
