Hey, i like the idea of the digital scale on the boat, but what i think you do is release the fish once you weighed it in, and then write down the weight of the fish. Just have a clip board or something with each persons name on it, and then they can weigh in fish and if the fish is bigger than one of the five that you have recorded then you cross out the lowest weight and add the new weight in and then release the Calico(big run on sentence there!). That way you dont have to worry about having a bunch of fish to deal with and you can cull a little bit easily. It may not have an "exciting" weigh in but at the end of the tourney you could anounce the winning weights and that would be the end of it. One of the good things about doing the tourney this way is then you dont have fish sitting in livewells, or in tubs on a boat, the fish are caught and released in a matter of minutes. This helps insure the survival rate of every fish caught. Well, there's my $ .02 worth.
