2010 Kvd Big Bass Classic - Table Rock Lake - June 5-6Th

[OBBT Staff]

This is an interesting rule under "WEIGH-IN SPORTSMANSHIP AND CONSERVATION:"

"( c ) Trailering a bass to weigh-in site during tournament hours will be permissible. Bass must be alive to be weighed in. However, any contestant whether trailering or not, shall be required to bring their boat and respective partner or partners, if any, with them to the official weigh-in site for a boat inspection when weighing bass in at any respective hour."

Can you clarify this rule. How does an angler go about this process?. You weigh in your fish, then what ?

I'm wondering how much down time an angler is to expect waiting for a boat inspection after weighing in their fish. How many staff members will be performing boat inspections?. I'm inquiring because I have seen 10,20, 30 up to 50 anglers weighing in during an hourly time slot.

Thanks for your help,

Our trailering clause is primarily related to adverse weather and in place to help with angler safety. In most cases, we only see trailering at the end of the day or the during later weigh-in hours and most anglers don't return to the water at that point. Rarely do we see anglers trailer in earlier hours and then trailer back to the water due to the travel time.

This rule allows us the right to inspect a boat(s) if our tournament director believes there is a pertinent need to do so. There isn't any major delay caused and normally this process happens while anglers wait to determine their place in the hour.

Our number one goal is to process our participants quickly and get both them and their fish back to the water as fast as possible. Anglers who are in the Top 5 for the hour will have to stay at the Toyota Main Stage until the hour is officially closed and they are released by the TD. Once you are "bumped" in any hour we send you back to the water immediately.

Thank you

Will you have more than one weigh in site or is Big Cedar the only one?

Bent Hook Marina at Big Cedar is the only one this year Jim. Depending on overall event participation we may add a site next year.

Mark,

Are you open to some sunglass questions then? In particular, regarding the best tint for Table Rock?

They don't let us choose light blue on the usstandard issue. I have the SI XLJhalf Jacket and they are awesome. I am not sure they are meant for fishing though! See you in June at BPS!

TR,

Here you go. http://www.oakley.com/search/men+prescription+sunglasses

There are some prescriptions that are beyond what they can do so you may have to check with Oakley on your specific prescription requirements.
