Thread: POLL for ALIVE OR DEAD

Well from what I see the voting must be over cause noone has voted in the last few hours. As weighmaster I will be announcing that we will keep the weighin as it was and allow fish (alive or deceased) to be weighed in but there will definately be a boat check done on every boat before the boat is allowed to participate in the FJ's.

It'e "Bon Jovi Style" Dead or Alive LOL

Sounds like a plan sat... It will allow everybody to fish without having to rig up an aerated cooler or somethin like that...

Well as soon as WB can get to work and get the rules fixed to read the way they were with the provision that the boat was checked by a tournament official prior to fishing he can post it!

I originally voted for "don't care", but I would change it now. I had 20 in the livewell yesterday and I ran the aireator (spelling) almost constantly. Almost all of them were dead or at least glazed over. Dead is the way to go. Just going to have to trust in our people.

I know the poll is over and it has been determined to allow dead or alive fish. Either way is fine with me. One thing you all should consider is, live fish will weigh more than dead fish. If you have a livewell or a cooler set up for fish and you want to give yourself every advantage, here is a great article about keeping fish alive in hot weather. I know its about green carp but it will work well for crappie also.
