I could be wrong. Lord knows I have be wrong before! But IMO it really does not matter, and I really don't care one way or the other....it is the entire "being paid to fish" vs "not being paid to fish" that leaves that kind of dirty taste in my mouth. You go out and fish and spend money on fishing because you love to fish. You release fish because you love the fish. It is not the same when your on a comm boat.

over and out!!
With regard to the slips, they could be numbered and accounted for. Say a shop gets slips #1-50, and fills one out upon a weigh in, with one of the cc's going back to otw to match the original. Kind of like a p.o. What you suggested is that a guy would have a bunch of slips for the week, send the biggest in, and throw the rest away, right? Put the onus on the weigh station to account for each one of their numbered slips that are issued. When the tourney ends, OTW could call that shop and say, "what happened to slips 22-30?,they weren't returned to us but you used them." This wouldn't add any additional hassle, because the slips need to be returned anyways. They would just be numbered and accounted for.
