Need someone there to give us the "play by play"
91 boats, I bet they just trying to get to the weigh in rite now!!
That's a lot of boats.
And they ain't got no boat Ramps worth a flip
It was bad 2 weeks ago with the bass tourney and our tourney, think it was 43 total boats between the 2, we drove down to Glenn Allen and put in.
Hope they turn em all back in.
They weighing in at Greenville, not sure what they will do.Quote:

Money, plain and simple
16.60 is leading. One of the B n M teams estimates they will push 19 pounds !!!!
Thanks for the update, keep em coming.
How many fish do they weigh?
7 per team
This is really not good at all. Live fish NOT Being put back in lake Washington. CM Definately needed a better plan.
All about them heavy green leaves..Quote:

Mike from bait n thangs said at cm meeting last night all fish would be released in Washington
Cool
I sure hope they are returning them back into lake Washington !! Was told different this afternoon.
After the round trip to the weigh-in, would be willing to bet at least 50% die if released, glad i only release to the grease
There was a whole lot of them caught this week that will not be released I can guarantee you that.
Why? Whats the difference? Fishing is fishing and as long as limits arent abused and no laws broken then live and let live. I dont care either way and when we fish a tourney thats releasing fish I am cool with that just as I am when they arent. Them fesh took one heck of a ride today ifn they were release I am willing to bet the survival rate will be less than 50 percent.Quote:

Wonder who she asked or if she just assumed like lots of folks?? Dont really matter I guess but I was told that info by a guy who fished in the tournament and was there at the weigh in. Regardless, glad to see an effort being made to try and return the fish.Quote:

They had people putting their fish in coolers. That's a shame.
Folks at the weigh in were keeping their fish???
Mike at baits and things and a game warden were taking the fish after u weighed. I noticed2 big steel tanks with oxygen hoses running to them. I also noticed a blue cooler beside the tanks full to the brim with dead fish. My guess is they were putting the fish in the tanks and scooping out the unhealthy fish. All 7 of mine had enough energy to swim back to washington.Quote:

They said the tank was not working and mike was putting them in empty ice chest so alot of people started to keep there fish instead of giving them to Mike! ?!!!!
