Since there are two anglers on board the boat. Had a tournament director say you could but I was just double checking.

Depends on the tournament rules but if you do you only get one over per fisherman and that's a state law. I think that's correct.

depends on the tournament. Some say only one over per team or boat. Ask to make sure.

Depends on the tourney rules, they will typically address it. By law it must be caught by different team members. This kind of stuff can come into play with unders also. Was in a team tourney on oh ivie several years back and partner had to cancel at last minute. Had 2 over 18 inches and culled unders all day but couldn't get limit cause you can only keep 2 under 18. On the up side it wouldn't have mattered tied for no money either way.

Depends on tournament. But be prepared for a polygraph asking if each person caught an over, not one angler catching both

Depends on tournament rules and how specific they are on this. Regulations allow the transfer of a wildlife resource to another person and thus removes that resource from your possession limit. So, if you catch two overs then you can legally give one to your partner.

TRANSFER OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES
A person may give, leave, receive, or possess any species of legally taken wildlife resource, or part of the resource, that is
required to have a tag or permit attached or that is protected by a bag or possession limit if the wildlife resource is
accompanied by a Wildlife Resource Document (WRD) (see pg. 100) from the person who killed or caught the wildlife
resource. Also at: www.tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/hunting/general-regulations/transfer-of-wildlife
For deer or antelope, a properly executed WRD shall accompany the wildlife resource or part of the resource
until it reaches its fi nal destination and is quartered (see Defi nitions, pg. 54, 55). For turkey, the WRD must
remain attached until the turkey reaches its fi nal destination and is fi nally processed (see pg. 54).
- NO WRD is required to possess a wildlife resource that is required to be tagged if the wildlife resource
is tagged.
For all other wildlife resources except aquatic resources (for aquatic resources, see Possession Limit,
pg. 32), a properly executed WRD shall accompany the wildlife resource until it reaches the possessors
permanent residence or a cold storage/processing facility, except:
- NO WRD is required if a person receiving the wildlife resource does not exceed the possession limit
(exception: see Migratory Game Birds - Documentation, pg. 69).
- A person may use the WRD provided in this guide (pg. 100) or a handwritten WRD document that
includes the same required information may be used.
NOTE: No WRD is required when the entire carcass of a deer (including head, which may be skinned or
unskinned) or antelope (including head, which must be unskinned) is given to, or transported by, another
person if the tag from the hunters license and other required permits or the pronghorn permit remains
attached until the carcass reaches its fi nal destination and is quartered.

That's easy,

Set the hook. Hand the rod to your partner. Like I do my 3 year old. Then he caught the fish

Youll just have go read that tournament trails rules. Say your fishing lake fork in a team tournament, the slot is 16-24. Usually its a 5 fish limit between you and your partner, meaning 4 unders and 1 over. Certian trails may do it differently so just check the rules to make sure.

A team won Fork Bass Champs with 2 overs a year or so ago.

Ive seen a lot of limits with more than two unders weighed in where limit is 2 unders per person.

Ive yet to hear anyone question as to whether each fisherman each caught two.

Unless tournament rules state 1 over, why would overs be treated any differently.

I have a hard time catching one over, so I don't have to worry about it!

When a trail specifically limits a team to one fish "over the slot", usually that means they are trying to be more fair to the single angler fishing as a team. In a trail like Champs when they did allow 2 overs (but the site limits stipulated the overs must be caught by different anglers), a single angler was at a major disadvantage.

But like has been said, each trail has there own rules for these special situations when they hit a slot lake. That's also why some trails just refuse to fish them.

Good luck with the Polygraph on that one...
