Lets' suppose that a person was to catch 7 fish, a tournament limit and also supposin he had a cooler in his boat with some ice in it. Would it be legal to keep the rest of his limit throwed in there on that ice. Or, iffn you're registered for the tournament, can you only keep a tournament limit?
Asking this for a friend....
I dont have a answer but the rules said 7 fish, but it dose not say you couldn't keep any other fish that i seen. what every the limit is in you state
You can keep the legal limit for your State whether you are in a tournament or not.

Local you should be able to keep legal limit just keep tournament fish separate. Crappie masters is 8 fish which one is a back up and taken from you before weighed in
Local. Seems I heard something about one of the MS fruit jars where enforcement wanted all the tourney fished released and didn't allow anyone to keep any. Maybe I dreamed this. I figure I may fish the local stuff. My "friend" may be referring to the pro trail:biggrin
For all CACA tourneys you can keep the local limit but only bring 7 fish to the scales if you bring more then 7 to scales you will be disqualified! If you want to keep your fish after weigh in that is fine but if you release them please keep them alive! I hate going to a tournament and afterwards there are dead fish floating across the lake!! If you have weak fish but do not want them give them to someone please! Hope to see you all ion the 23rd!!!

You didn't dream it. One lake and one lake manager. Don't know if we ever really got a definitive resolution to it either. They did let one of the guys take all the weighing fish for a charity donation. They were given to a volunter fire dept for a fund raising fish fry. Mine went to Charlie Weavers fund raiser:RoflQuote:

COE rules state that if you have a SPONSORED event(tournament) then you must obtain a Special Use Permit and you may not have more than the tournament limit in the boat and that all live fish shall be returned to the lake and the dead ones given to a charitable cause. A SPONSORED EVENT would seem to mean a tournament that has sponsors. i.e. Boat makers, motor makers etc. At one lake there has been a little difference of opinion on what makes a sponsor. People are working to resolve this issue so that everyone is on the same page. A Fruit Jar wouldn't seem to fall into the SPONSORED category. Time will tell.
We had a MCC member that weighed 8 fish Saturday. They do not disqualify you for that, but make you reweigh last with 7.

Me and my son were having this same conversation this morning. Thanks for the information. We were curious how that worked just in case we get to fish a few of the tournaments. Guess we would need to worry about catching some first!!! Lol
