sweet logo Tommy

Great logo this year!!! Good luck to all of ya!!!

I figure when a tourney state it's catch and release it should be a no brainer. Having 100% in front of catch and release should end all doubts. Now putting pure in front of 100% on top of catch and release it a bit too much.

and you know what? I bet SOMEONE still doesn't quite get it by the time the tourny comes around

That is a nice pic Tom! Wonder who drew that shark lol.

Hey all,
This is "Cudaman " Herbert Müller. I cannot come out and play in tournaments so far. There are too many things going on in my life, my only son in the Army being one of them. Catch a fish or shark and release it has become a big part in my life. Gio Peroldo started the Shorebound Shark Tourney with this intention along with Gustavo Mata and their friends such as Paul (sorry I do not remember your last name boy, lol). Fishing has been a big part of my life since I can remember. I have fished in many countries since I was a kid and have witness many atrocities to wildlife. I have stopped fishing for a while and come back, this happens all the time to many of us, but we always come back to it because it is what we love to do. When I was first involved in the Shorebound Shark Tourney I tried very hard to get the tagging program involved and many people know that. Unfortunately I was not able to succeed due to red tape, but was gladly able to get around it in the 2009 Shorebound Shark Tourney. Needless to say many things have gone wrong in many tournaments. We as humans recognize that is time to change. No more killing unnecessarily of any animal. If we do any tournaments it should be in the name of preservation. Not a softy here, just a realist, not many big catches any more, and you all know it (meaning extreme as we used to see them in the 70’s or 80’s. Just don’t like to see them hanging). I am glad to see that tournaments now days do a tag and release format and I hope that they stay that way and honor the original intentions of the rules. I do hope that the rules these tournaments have are not just to keep away people that care about conservation but instead are rules to pave the road of real conservation.

Harsh to say, bait is bait, if it is scientifically proven that it is abundant and it is legal to use it in the country you are in then use it. Nature is cruel but we do not have to be, we do not have to kill animals unnecessarily. Cash money or perks should not dignify unnecessary death of any creature. Please never go out of your way to endanger a fish for a picture. Please know their limits of life. The rule of thumb is; if you can hold your breath as they are out of the water so should the fish. People that have experience with shark fishing would know that 3 minutes is a rule of thumb, unless the fight has gone beyond an hour, or you see the way a shark behaves out of the water (exhausted) it may be less. Please know that if current and or waves come into their mouth/gills the chance for their survival is much greater than in no water. Please know that rocks would hurt their internal organs and a soft wet surface will aid with their survival. Please understand that if they become pink under the sun, they are getting a sun burn and may not survive it. The biggest rule is “KEEP THEM WET”. This way you will know you did good to release them.

Hopefully I will be able to start fishing soon. I always enjoy the reports in many of the forums I visit (I haven’t done so in a long time, but will soon).

SUPPORT OURT TROOPS, SUPPORT CATCH AND RELEASE, AND SUPPORT A BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR SEAS!

Sincerely,

Cudaman

This Tourney is about do you have what it takes to get the Big ones and not what you win, so if you are concerned about what you will win this tourney may not be for you. Its about passion for this and dedication to a sport which only a very small group even have the ability to do.

IS this YOU

I do not think most have what it takes to get a 12 footer or bigger in, matter of fact I know so prove me wrong.
