A Season-Long Catch & Release Tourney

[tysdad115]

Anyone need a partner for this event? I'm going to put Tyler in the youth division but he wont be able to fish as often to compete . So I need a partner for the competition as Soups probably wont be fishing much this year. The good thing is it will be dark, so no one will see your with me.

I fish by myself mostly Andy, but I'd consider it seeing how you asked, I don't catch many fish though so I'm not sure you'd want me


can I use eelskins?

Sounds good to me Bruce, I hardly catch any either but this sounds fun.

Tyler can fish with you... he doesn't have to be with you for every fish you catch and he'll be automatically entered into the Cow Hunt

If you end up needing a partner for this, let me know, I might sign up.

Why is that ? It sounds like you need to fish 6 or 8 weekends in this tourney. Most of the guys I know that comm fish are pretty much C&R guys the rest of the season and probably keep less than most of the guys I see on the canal. Comm season is what, 4 weeks long and they are knocked out of a season long tourney? Why not just not let em enter fish during comm season?

That's a valid point and something I will think about.

My reasoning was if you've got a license and it's 34" it's dead.

But I will give some thought to your idea.

Stick to your guns Dave and keep this "recreational". You have a chance to start something truly unique. Once you include R&R Comm Lic holders it becomes a different ballgame.

I disagree.

These big fish are valuable and should be released regardless of their monetary value. Hopefully the people participating in the tournament share that philosophy and that, rather than fame, prizes, or reward is their primary reason to join.
