I know.... I was just sayin.... I wondered what all those folks in those "recreational" boats were thinking.... just more ammo for the peta crowd.

Might I suggest that if it appears dead at the weigh in, provide a cooler or some sort of trough to put the dead ones in, have somebody in charge of it, and take them and filet them and keep them for a charity or church fish fry... just don't dump them back into the lake so the bikini girls don't have to wade through them to get in their wakemakers...

Another suggestion, go to a three fish limit.. sure, it looks good to bring in a 20# sack, but, this time of year it's probably easier to keep three alive than five due to the oxygen content in the well...

I'm not trying to or be a fuddy duddy, just trying to offer a little constructive opinion. I've worked at MAJOR weigh ins (Opens, Elite Series, Federation), so I have a little insight to your predicament.
