Nice concept but fisherman are liars to begin with.
Giving out prizes for fish tales won't cut it in NIB's world..

Agreed 100%.In Back Beach's world its the same "weigh", pun intended.
I think the fairy tale division would bring more people in, which is good because it is a sportsmanship event, after all. Lots of good, honest anglers out there that catch and release too.
I would presume the awards would have to be lesser for unoffically weighed fish, though.No trucks or boats, maybe a plaque,boga grip, and some barbless hooks.
Its good in theory and a conservation minded gesture.The potential abuses are exponentially greater than the non catch and release divisions though if large prizes are offered.If the C&R is its own divison though, there is no reason to oppose it. Its a good idea.
