[quote="ducky"]In my experience rep points turn a forum into a massive circle jerk.

The forum works fine as it is.


As for the species Comp. The intention when it was made was because I get bored chasing the same species every day and like the idea of a comp where you could challenge yourself to become a more well rounded angler. It's got nothing to do with ego. it's a pretty fun Comp all round and you get to see some quality fish too.[/quote]

Couldn't agree more, :thumbsup: cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Also the vast vast majority of the smack that gets talked between the competitors is satire. We're joking. Actually I take that back, it's more like ALL of it.

Re species comp rating system ect, also be carefully who you believe.

There are great fishos out there who regularly post pics of snapper ect and deliberately tell people they were caught at location X when they were really caught at location Y ie the other end of PPB.

It's funny how FEW actually take part in this comp and then comments like this which proves it's an ego thing. There are plenty on here who are great fishermen but don't brag about every fish they catch. :water:
Are You one of these fishermen :water:
To many boats kayak, helicopter , catch a fish,catch a fish

No one who is taking part of the species comp believes it's an ego booster yet those who aren't willing to have a go at it want to take pot shots. Pretty interesting.
