Then there will be the talk of it being caught BEFORE the derby and kept alive to be weighed in for a prize.
Although you may find quite a few good ideas for keeping the fish fresh, if you do anything to keep it alive it will raise red flags across the board.
I can't believe that the tournament will only weigh fish at 4:00 pm!
That would definitly guarantee that almost all fish weighed in will be dead, and that they will definitely have lost weight during the day.
Sorry, but no amount of ice and water is going to prevent weight loss after fish has died. Maybe if it were flash-frozen, but then there's the questions of when fish had been caught.
Man, what a vicious cycle!
Anyway, if you are planning on keeping fish to eat afterwards, maybe you can keep the smaller fish for the table, unless the tourney is based on total weight of all fish caught per person and not individual weight per fish.
Good luck!!!
