Unfort'ly that is not the way it actually worked. Slips had to be turned in only once per week. Slips would get held all week and the largest fish of the week would get sent in. They were able to use the entire weeks catch and select the largest fish.


That is a question of ethics. Cheaters always cheat. It is not only a matter of ethics for the fisherman but also with regards to the weigh station for holding the slip and swapping it out. You speak of this happening like you know for sure. If you know of this for a fact, call them out. Tell OTW and tell us who!

C & R would be a complete joke. With the number of unsubstantiated claims I hear every year, it would be recipe for disaster. A dead fish on the scale is the only way to truly confirm a catch, IMO. Don't even get me going on this one. If we took all of the claims people made each year and actually confirmed them with a scale, there would be a lot of disappointed fishermen and shatterd egos.

There's an easy way to stop that. Either you don't allow an official weigh-in station that's also sponsoring a club to weigh its own members' fish, or you sequentially number the weigh-in slips and make the station account for all of the "missing" slips

In other words, 3 copies of every weigh-in slip, sequentially numbered. One slip to the angler, one to OTW and the weigh-in station keeps the originals. The station has to send in the originals at the end, and they're compared to the slips received by OTW.

You beat me to it, lightning boy.
