if for some chance i win it,
if for some chance i win it, i will give it to the 2nd person, as far as im concerned huggy is allowed to win it cant see why he wouldnt just because he will be fishing from my boat., im donating the prize as a personal thing, i have no need for another rod like this, i will have a full set soon anyway.
yes i will try my hardest to get huggy onto a good fish,just like any other skipper will do.

Stuff the Bear
Hasn't he got enough gear already? What does he want with another broom stick for.
I will certainly have a crack at that prize for sure ( i need a bream rod).
I still don't think you boys should get to win it but

Awesome idea Matt. I'm gonna have to hope for something bigger than all the sub 40kg fish I seemed to attract earlier this year. I'll certainly be putting in a few hours for sure with that as the prize.

Great prize Matt
and well done for the effort. How do you propose to judge the heaviest marlin in a T&R competition? Estimated weights or heaviest based on actual dimensions. At the end of the day it may be very clear cut, but then again it may not be.
