Well I have to strongly disagree. Tournaments are killing enough fish already without cleaning every fish kept. Especially when lakes can see 500 plus tournaments a year. Let's do hunting tournaments which will put thousands if not millions more hunters in the woods. Good luck ever seeing a nice buck again
