Do you consider a 4 year old and a seventeen year old the same because they are both minors legally? It's a complicated discussion that needs to be explored more during the off season.

Like i said maybe it will get voted on. And i will bring it up at championship for vote. And reread my post i also said need a age cap.

If your interpretation of the rules leads to some being excluded, you're probable interpreting it wrong.

OK Heads up.....I do not fish FJ's and I am not on the committee.....but I have recieved two reported posts about this thread ( folks thinking its a personal attack etc.) PLease keep your comments civil and also....If its not in the rules.....then in my opinion it is not a rule and any unwritten rules should not even be counted. If you want the rules changed then please take that up with the FJ Directors by PM. and get the rules changed or ammended. Like I said if its not in the rules as they are written.....then it really should mean nothing. This was changed or we always did it like this should not even count if its not written in the rules.

Just to clarify about the kids.........here is Rule No. 1 of the FJ Rules

1) Eligible Participants. Participation in the Crappie.com, MS FJ Series is open to anyone. There is no qualification to be registered on Crappie.com. Children are encouraged to participate

Heads up one more time....... everyone please take your comments and complaints to the FJ Directors by PM. You may not get the rules that are in place for this year changed but you can make your voices heard for rule change proposals for next year. There also will probably be some new directors elected after the Championship so you will need to talk to those folks when the time comes.

In this thread, post #32 by Major:

The hating can stop. The kids will be exempted if they're younger than 18. Seems a few people want to jump to the wrong conclusions. We are a group that wants to promote our sport and what better way than involving kids. The B's can fish as long as Wannabe has fished three.
