I recently bought a 60 Rapala Lock and Weigh scale... I know it is not Boga but have heard many good things about them. I sent it in to the IGFA to have them certify it (in case I land a world record sometime soon
), but it made me think, if they trust people who use a pre-approved scale, why not have tournaments allow people that have approved scales of their own use them? I mean, I know its a long shot, but is this allowed in any tournaments that people fish in? Honesty is already a huge part of many of the tournaments we fish (who reallly know if a fish is boat caught or shore caught or if someone has a striper farm in their backyard that they grow giants in), so why not allow anglers to weigh their own fish and document it just as you would for an IGFA event... I'm just interested in what people had to say. I was so interested myself because if I had the opportunity to save a cow and release and still submit it for a tournament, I would be all over this and I think many others would be too. What you guys have to say?
