Seems to make sense to me.
Few if any people eat them, so it's a crying shame what you see at the weigh-in station. Beautiful albies left to rot - for what, a stupid pin to hang on your hat?
Don't get me wrong, I love the Derby, but at least you can donate your blues and bass to a worthy cause on the Island. Although people say cooked albie is edible, nobody will touch it.
Actually, you'll hear me say this a lot - it's delicious RAW as long as it has been bled and gutted and iced promptly (right after catching) but that would mean you couldn't weigh it in.
If you keep your three and don't want to eat them, go out of your way to give them to an island shark angler.
