Just have the fish weighed in the boat and released like on major league fishing. No need to do anything with the slot limit. I think it would be absurd to waive the slot limit for a fishing tournament.

it was tried in 1999. that is when the Lake Fork Sportsman's Assoc was formed to stop the slot waivers. It went to court and the LFSA won. There were a lot of hurt feelings for about 10 years. In 2006 the PAA asked for a slot waiver to put on the first Toyota Texas Bass Fest.
Once again the LFSA stepped in and sent a letter suggesting they find a better way.
And they did which to this day is the same format of putting a judge with a scale in every boat and about 2016 the MLF picked it up and adopted the format as well. Even BASS uses it when they come to Texas for bass fest.

I have actually spent the last several years studying this topic in great detail, sometimes as much as 5-10 minutes a week pondering this long discussed dilemma. Through exhaustive research including but not limited to the following: flow charts, doughnut charts, area charts, histograms, radar charts, bar graphs, metric conversions, colored pie charts, hearsay, fake news, dock talk, pillow talk, curve inversions, Cartesian graphs, comparison charts, disinterested parties views, non endemic and endemic opinion alike, guides, non guides, chris tiltons personal views, tournament and non tournament fishing people, I have determined that based on the wide swath of unscientific unprovable opinion regarding delayed mortality over the last 20 years of tournament fishing at the extremely heavily pressured Sam Rayburn, factoring in a delayed mortality rate of somewhere between 6% on the low side and 38% on the high side as some unsubstantiated figures allude to, there are no fish left in that lake, and certainly none that exceed 2 years of age. If you bear down and just do the math like I have based off flawed research it is entirely feasible under the current opinion of many scientists and non scientists alike in multiple articles based purely on speculation. A model is simply a model and not necessarily how things turn out. I am not sure where they keep getting those dang fish in that lake at those numbers and size, but science clearly shows it’s not because any of the previously caught fish lived. Brilliant

the answer is Chris' "only 14% tournament fish"....... TPW knows enough about math to see that 86% is a bigger number of people to crawl their [censored] if they don't like something.....that is the only science that matters.

Pretty simple solution. If you don’t like the rules or the format of the tournament, don’t fish it.

This is 2019. I'd think there is something better than hauling fish around in a box all day just so you can all use the same scale. JMHO
