Dave set this up, but I think his reasoningwas that not everybody can tell a shortnose from a spotted and that if we had too many categories it would cost too much to enter.
Maybe next year we can have a spotted or shortnose category that is seperate from the longnose gar?
The bigheads and silvers are together because there are so many hybrids in the waters now that not even the carp biologists can tell them apart by looking at them.
