They do have Catch and Release for pins so the fish that were killed were not killed for a pin. Most people that kept them were probably going to keep them anyways, regardless if they were in a tournament or not. The only difference is that they are going to be stopping by a scale before the cutting board.........and since they are weighing it in for the tournament it becomes more visible.

I think the only sin in keeping a fish is NOT eating it.......you can keep it to wear as a hat for all I care, just as long as when your done wearing it....you eat it. thats just the Circle of Life right there.
