Thanks in advance
No. There are probably at least 50, maybe closer to 100, OTW weigh stations, and as far as I know, none of them would have the slightest interest in opening a fish. They're local bait and tackle shops trying to make a living, and their time is pretty valuable to them. They weigh the fish, have the angler sign the slip, and send the slips in once or twice a week, depending on the shop. There's no one central OTW operated weigh station, like there is for the MV Derby. The OTW runs from Maine to NJ.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
