AgSellers, how is a loophole for t fisherman. If you go catch an over and take it to a marina and weigh it. Then let it go. You can go catch and bring in another one. You can do that all day. This is assuming that the purpose of the regulation is purely conservationist. From my standpoint I think catching 5 overs in a day and hauling them to weigh may as well be considered retaining them because it puts more pressure on 5 over-the-slot fish than if they had been immediately released. I really doubt there are too many meat fishermen out there on Fork culling a 24 inch bass for a 24.25 inch bass. It really sounds like an ethical loophole to allow tournaments a chance to showcase heavier sacks at the expense of a regulated public resource to me. That opinion will be about as welcome as a wart on your privates in here....

Any tournament that promotes this practice either doesn't respect the slot regulation or doesn't care. You can probably take your pick when it comes to personal gain and grandeur. Think on this. I get stopped by GW at 0900 and have a over in the livewell. I get stopped again at 1200 with no over in the box. I get stopped again at 1500 with a over in the box. Whats the GW gonna do to me? No organized tourney involved but just a private bet with a buddy.

Nothing....you didn't violate the law.... it's not a redfish tag chief.....but the ethics of tournament fishing on public waters is not a welcome topic here.... period.

Look...here's my beef. I got my arse kicked Saturday at Fork. Seriously. Look all the way down at the bottom and you will find my name. We fished the same area all day due to wind. We went with the slow down and focus on one area approach. We ended up with 2 unders and didn't bother weighing in. We watched a team fish the same spot all day long and every time I looked over there they were netting a fish. I got a serious case of the sore butt because we suck at fishing apperantly.
Oh, and BTW, I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by the 2 overs or the 5 fish for 14.04 with no over. Surely somebody found a school of big spots right??

That's three more times than I've been stopped at Fork by the GW, and he wouldn't do anything.

My hats off to the Burns brothers. 2 overs in 1 tournament is impressive and you don't see it too often out there. Congrats on the win guys!
