Thanks Lee, I think you'll find near the end of the post my response to what was changed.
For now I think greenling is going from 11 pts per inch down to 9 pts per inch. 

As for cabezon, again it's June now and a bit late to change things.   We will certainly re-evaluate for 2012.  Until then, go out and get yourself a cabezon if you think they're cheap points*.  I'm pretty sure others have looking at the number of cabezons posted so far this year.

*Here's a tip, they live on the bottom and like to eat crustaceans.

I see a few posted fish in late may and June.  I inputted a a king and a hlaibut into the database a few weeks back. Looked like it took them but now I can't log on.  I of course can't remember which email and password I used so it could be my fault but I pretty much tried them all.

I am guessing I got delted out of the database somehow since I did have access for a while.

A little help!

Thanks

But not in Alaska if AOTY needs a Scorpaenichthys marmoratus.  We have fish from the same family "cottidae"  I suppose that's not quite close enough though, eh?  lol.  No problem, I have access to 11 species!

kard, your account is still active.  Brian can probably help you reset the password if you need.

Send me a pm if you want me to try and email you your password and if that doesn't work we can also reset it to something new.  I'm working on automating this procedure for 2012.

AOTY is based on your 10 best species so you certainly don't need a cabezon.  If you have access to 11 species that's more than enough to win.

I knew the Trader Joes port wine wouldn't set me astray in my internet wanderings. I see his largeness, Lee, is crackin' jokes about the Chumster in threads the Chumster don't follow.

Rode the Long Haul Trucker over the bridge at my usual paddle spot and saw some kayak fisher was tryin to make himself a Rood Boy on Sunday. Judging by the chick-magnet Honda with surf racks, I blame Spot. The Too-A-Late-In is mighty stinky and debris filled lately, but the fishies were a jumpin' on Saturday morn. Hope you caught something. Post up a trip report. Or direct my buzzedness to it if its already gracing this fine page...

Yeah, with Father's Day fast approaching, I thought I'd do pops proud.

Nah, I just wanna hear the word "lovechild" said in a roid-laced fading Austrian accent.

Now back to your fishing tournament...

Guess I need to buy a kayak now. Just signed up for the tourney. Hopefully that will help motivate me to get out fishing more.  Hoping my daughter will get into it too!

i would like to see pinks (and possibly sockeye) added. It will be a pink year in WA.  I'm not the most comfortable in big water, and am able to target pinks in the snohomish and lower stilly. also, was able to get a few sockeye in Baker Lake this last summer.  But....as you can tell from my points this year...my vote's not to be taken too seriously :)

Why is Snopro's score completely wrong from what it shows of his fish reported?  The average is way off.

Also, I'm one fish out of the top 10 right now.....

Huh? Pinks and Sockeyes are already AOTY species.

That comment was from 2012.

It looks like Brian fixed it.

When determining the winners for Oregon and Washington, does your score only include fish caught from those states? I've noticed some peoples scores are different on the Oregon/Washington leaderboard than on the overall leaderboard.
