Ive had it explained to me that the tpw rules say on fork only 1 over may be in possession, and since it was weighed and released it techically wasnt in possesion. Ive heard person "A" is allowed an over and person "b" is allowed an over.

my opinion is that just because its not technically in ypur possesion, if its still counts on your 5 fish stringer then techically it still hold a spot on your stringer as an over. And Again on a team event there is no "a" and "b", so bag limits combine and your allowed 1 over, just like you cant bring in a 10 fish stringer.

Guess neither explinations fit or make since to me in context of team.

Your post makes no sense to me. One angler, only one over. Two overs with TWO anglers in the same boat catching one of them each, then you may possess two overs as part of your five fish limit. "Team" and "tournament" have nothing to do with TPWD possession limits.

Under TPWD rules, both guys could have brought one over and four unders each to the cleaning table. But tournaments may enact stricter rules such as 5 fish max for a team of two men. In Fork team tournaments, most organizations allow each angler to weigh one over along with three unders for a team total of 5. But both anglers MUST catch the over themselves.

I was wondering when this would get posted,
since the team that won Champs had two overs.

The rules allowed up to 5 overs in Basschamps this year. You could catch an over, come weigh it in, then go back out and catch another over, go weigh it in... and repeat. As long as you were never in violation of the TPWD possession limit in your boat, once you weigh it the fish is released and your possession goes back to zero.

I think it's pretty cool, gives Fork the opportunity to really shine if someone hammers a mega bag. Also brings some additional strategy into play.

Wait... Dont the rules on Fork state you can only retain one over 24" per day?

once you put it back you can keep another

Yes you can only have 1 over in your possession. The second you weight it in, it then becomes in possession if the tournament trail and no longer yours. Your free to catch another over and bring it in. But that previous over counts towards your total 5 for the day.

To not have over croaking in live well all day you may bring in weigh, release, and fish for the rest of your bag. I believe this goes back to when they had 3 Sal sized fish die couple years back in livewells during events.

And is the OP upset with this, typically there is crying after a champs event, is this the post lol.

Yep.

Just kind of seems to me like allowing you to catch, haul to weigh-in, handle, weigh, and release 5 overs kind of defeats the whole purpose of only allowing one 24 inch bass to be retained under the slot limit rule. I always thought once you put a fish in the livewell and took it to weigh that it was considered "retained". Guess I was wrong. Seem like a nice loophole for tournament fishermen. Then again, I don't fish tournaments.

I didn't know that,I don't have that kind of luck.

That's why I posted my comments
I heard about the crying not long after the results were posted.

Rules were clearly listed prior to the tournament. They followed the rules. Great win.

Second time in last few years the winners had 2 overs.
