That's the thing that nobody pretends to understand when I throw my fits about how many keeper bass get relocated every weekend during these stupid tournaments.   The guys around here have no qualms about hauling 12 fish per boat around all day, and doing their sorting/culling at the weigh-in location.  When you have 60-70 tournaments per month doing that..... it's just too much.   Not cool at all.  

I couldn't agree more. I hope it was clear that I was talking about retaining a single injured fish for a couple of hours and then releasing it --- away from the launch ramp --- when it recovers after treatment with Rejuvenade.

I don't doubt a word you're saying but I don't know of a single tournament that doesn't bar the possession of more than a tournament limit at any time. Culling at the weigh-in location should be grounds for disqualification. Of course, you're probably talking about jackpots with basically no rules.

Your lake (LOZ, for those who don't know Wrench) is like Beaver in that it gets hurt more by tournaments than other lakes because darn near every derby is held out of one ramp … PB2. Can't keep relocating every tournament fish caught for years and years to a single area or eventually the rest of the lake is going to feel the effects.
