A Season-Long Catch & Release Tourney

What you decide to legally kill and keep is your business but why would anyone want to keep a fish over 40"? That is too many meals from a single bass for a family to eat safely (if the fish happens to be a high toxin level fish then repeated meals from it creates high exposure).

They are generally not for one's family to eat. They are to show off on the backs of bikes, to friends, the internets, bait shops, and anyone else that will show them attention for their 'trophy'. Killing for braggers rights I think it's called. But we know that. Sorry getting off topic but not looking forward to the canal fish kills of May and June.

I absolutely love the idea of this tournament! I have my team mate penciled in, just need to work out the details.

I am all for you being able to participate as well, even keeping your eligibility to win prizes. The requirement of a photograph should eliminate any accusations of cheating.

Maybe the site should consider a forum dedicated to pics of released fish only.......as a way to promote the practice. Could certainly include pics from this tourney as well.

I appreciate that, but Im not going to take any prizes. It just seems wrong. But Team GoTight will be competing.
