DZ,
Re:"Our fishing club contest also makes it easier by allowing entered bass to be weighed on a hand scale, witnessed by another angler, then released alive We instituted this club rule in the 1980s and have used it ever since"
What if I told you that weighing the fish on a hand scale before releasing it increases post release mortality by well over 100%? I don't want to go into all the details but you will find tham in an article I'm working for On The water, what will appear in a couple of months.
