Hunter91 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 So if that fish was caught during a tourney. Could you weigh it in? It has a tracking device and additional weight to the natural weight of the fish. Just a thought :-) It is pretty cool though. Congrats to your son!

I would say probably not. Tournament powers that be would more than likely tell you it is a release ASAP situation. Just a guess.
Champ188 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I think I'd have an issue if a tournament director rejected that fish at the scales. Nowhere in any tournament regs that I've ever read does it say you can't weigh in a tagged fish or one with a radio transmitter attached. They could deduct an ounce or so and I wouldn't complain but to reject the fish entirely wouldn't be right. JMO.
denjac Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I would say it would be allowed at a weigh in as thats the way you caught it. Saw a fish at grand lake weighed in with a spook stuck to his head, after a debate with the tournament commitee it was allowed to be weighed as thats how it was when it was caught. Dont know that I agreed with that but thats the way it went down. Believe it or not Ripley. Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

That's a bit different than having a transmitter inside of them where you can't remove it. Did they release that fish back into the lake with the spook attached? Â Â

Members abbfish Posted April 20, 2011 Members Posted April 20, 2011 I hope you released him! I have been secretly putting those transmitters on these fish in an attempt to get free Lake-wide Wi-Fi and cellular phone service for everyone! Kinda gives a whole new meaning to "hot spot"?
Members abbfish Posted April 20, 2011 Members Posted April 20, 2011 Oh that was too funny, made me LOL.
Members waterdogg Posted April 20, 2011 Members Posted April 20, 2011 HEY DR. FRANKENSTEIN, How about giving a fish a chance, did you see my stitches? Awful and with spawn right around the corner.
