It has nothing to do with tournament fishing as the Wisconsin culling law has been on the books for decades. Why should Wisconsin change its laws for a group that wants to commercialize competitive fishing for profit? I never could figure out why tournament officials allow “everybody out there” to break not only a tournament rule but a state law as well. Tournament organizers should be able to figure out how to conduct a tournament within the framework of the state laws, not just ignore them. It has more to do with just the harm to the resource. There are a lot of activities on public waters that are regulated by states which consider more than just the user’s opinion as to weather they harm the resource. What is wrong with the angler making the decision when the fish is boated weather to keep the fish or not? Predicting the total weight to win early on could add an interesting twist to the tournament. What about adding ounces for early return to the weigh in or documenting every fish boated and immediately released and award a value for so many fish in each size category? The options are endless. Every tournament does not have to be 5 biggest fish at 3PM.
