Sounds like fun. If you want my opinion, if fish are going to be killedfor official slips then at least during the tourney the leading fish will be posted so we will know what to shoot for. Therefore less fish would be killed since there will be only one winner.

I like the idea of catch and release. It would be great if you only need length and girth measurements. If I get a large fish it takes less time to pull a fabric tape measure out of my pocket and get 2 quick measurements of the fish then it would to get a scale and risk harming the fish by weighing it(not everyone has a Boga grip with a scale). As john pointed out the weight could be determined by formula.

Whatever you do make the rules so we can read them without needing a law degree.

Is this tourney going to be all season long or what did you have in mind?

I tend to agree with the point about the honor system and the prize being small. But I can't see how someones conscience wouldn't bother them if they lied or cheated.
