Fishing in a kayak or float tube, you are low to the water and succeptable to being dumped in the water. Having a propeller, even if the motor is off, near some dangling legs, it just is not worth the hassle. Not to mention, what happens if the boat drops your fish before you get it weighed..... I am not gonna deal with those hassels for an impromptu, fun get-together with a little $ sidepot.

If you want to carry around a livewell, or mesh bag, or tie off a container to an area, then bring in your live fish, I will do everything I can to weigh those fish in an expedient manner, at the time of the weigh-in, and aid in the release of the fish.

I am not making a cent on this project, just doing it to get out on the water, meet new people, try new techniques. If you don't want to deal with the C&R issue, fish the other species, or deal with the livewell issue yourself.

Idealy, having all boats equipted with a waterproof digital camera and scale, weigh your fish and let it go right away.... but for $10 bucks, aint gonna happen. Sorry folks. The issue is closed for the first few events. If you can come up with a good method of transporting the fish alive, without damaging it's scales or slime, and want to share it, please do so. If not, than we can deal with this issue after we have had a few events and work out the kinks of running an event like this.
