Do they expect guys fishing for the same team to blow the whistle on each other?
It's symbolic and an empty rule. The worst kind of rule you can make. One that relies on self-enforcement by the entrants. All show and no substance.
I'd let yo-yoing be an legal method as long as the state kept it a legal method.

Unenforceable maybe, but I know the Captain on our team won't allow a fish to be entered that was caught outside the parameters of the system.Now the decision to even enter the tournament is one that will be called into question. I am sure Team #^&#^&#^&#^&'s as well as Linesider B&B is also considering skipping a year.Perhaps this is the only way to get On The Water to make it a fair tournament.Personally ,I think their strategy will backfire and the number of entries will diminish until they wake up and allow teams to compete on a level playing field.The majority of the boat teams don't recognize anyone as the winner other than who weighed in the most pounds anyhow.
