B.A.S.S. tournament rules state that we’re allowed a 5-fish limit anywhere we compete — so long as it’s in accordance with state or federal regulations. When a sixth fish is caught, we’re obligated to cull immediately. Not 10 or 20 minutes later … immediately!
You’d think this would be a simple rule to follow, yet, from time to time, someone will lose count of their catch, and that’s when they get into trouble.
Culling looks easy, but a culling oversight cost Bill Lowen a Bassmaster Classic appearance.
