      Bass are kept in live wells with oxygen and Ice, weighed in and released. If you have a dead fish you are penalized. Most tournament fisherman take the best care ...more of their fish because we appreciate the resource. Catch & Release.

      Hey Andy, It was a team tournament and my partner did not weigh any fish. We still finished in 5th. However, the 5.4 held up for Big Bass of the tournament and the ...more year.
