How about limiting the entries to one per week and have a different code for each day that is used to identify fish caught each day and only allow one catch and release entry per week. That would help limit the amount of fish caught/hooked by each angler.
I have watched the catch and release tournament anglers and have seen first hand how long the fish are out of the water being measured and photographed before release. The time out of the water and damage to the protective slime coat to ensure a proper picture is very disturbing to me. The use of multiple hooks also adds time to the release on top of measuring and taking pictures. Now if the anglers are limited to one entry per week utilizing codes that expire each day/night (maybe noon to noon so over night fishing isn't hampered) I would not object so much.
