It is interesting that for the first time at the championships in the Mediterranean, scoring, instead of weight, will be done according to the new rules of the International Federation for Sport Fishing at Sea FIPS-M, according to which every caught fish is returned alive to the sea after checking the length and entering it in the catch list, which will be a special challenge for the organizer, the Association for Sport Fishing at Sea of Montenegro and the judges on board, announced the Association for Sport Fishing at Sea of Montenegro.
