I’ve done that with plyers before, not during a tournament though! I don’t touch my phone during a tournament... the go pro is running though

Great recovery Tom! As soon as I saw you taking the selfie, I had a feeling of what was going to happen. Way to hang in there and make it happen

I once threw the better fish in the water with the cull beam still in its mouth.

Tom,
You administered a self-spanking on the video, self-deprecating in your commentary, willing to share your "oops!" with the world via video.
No equivalent of wrapping a golf driver around a tree trunk, snapping a bat over your knee.
All is well in the world and you put fishing into its proper perspective!
Brad

I once threw the better fish in the water with the cull beam still in its mouth. I’ve done it several times. I started with 8 cull tags. I’m down to 4. But, I’m a dumb [censored]. Lol. I don’t learn lessons easily.

We had 17+ lbs at the Media Championship at the Red River a few years back and at around 1:00 my trolling motor batteries had nothing left, so we decided to go ahead and weigh our sack. Went to the weighin and got my weigh slip and proceeded to take off to the casino. Next morning we went to see where we stood and we were in last place with a 0.00. I talked to David Baummen (however you spell it) and he investigated it and said we didn't check in when we got to the weighin. There wasn't anybody on the bank to check us in but even with the weigh slip in my hand he wouldn't do anything. Pretty much screwed our weekend as we would have been in top 5 from what I remembered.

I had pretty much exactly the same thing happen in a team tournament, fishing with my brother, except we stuck around waiting to get second place and big bass money. We were the very first to weigh in, well before our check in time, but no one to check in with. We made donkeys out of ourselves, bad enough they called the sheriff on us lol.

Pretty much screwed our weekend as we would have been in top 5 from what I remembered. terrible decision on Media bass's part.....not only was it good to release the fish early but is it in the rules that you have to find a check in person prior to weighing your fish in...whoever weighed your fish should have advised if so..... several years ago media bass was a growing tourney trail in this area and when they had the regional here on Seminole,the owner came riding into town the night before and announced the a-rig would not be permitted....many fishermen had been using it throughout the year and practicing for this tournament...numerous fishermen including his tournament director tried to talk the owner out of changing the rule the night before and he wouldn't budge .... next year nobody fished his trail....
