Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Hard to belive BASS would have the weigh in over an hour away in birmingham. Those fish will go through hell......bounce around all day in a livewell...go for a long ride to weigh in....five big guntersville bass in a bag in weigh in line is tough.....then what....another long trip back to guntersville?  If i lived on that lake i would be furious .....spawning females going through all that...cant help the fishery at all.

It is a small number of fish compared to the population and they generally have state fisheries trucks at these events to handle the bass after weigh-in. I believe they also take precautions from the lake to the weigh-in but I will have to check on that. Being in the livewell on the road is not a lot different than being in the livewell on the lake in a chop.

I prefer to limit that stress put on bass as much as possible so I always appreciate seeing new ways to do weigh ins and more thought into treating the bass as well as absolutely possible. I think it is helpful to have people state their opinions publicly because that can affect change over time.

I was watching day 2 weigh in live on line,and Dave Mercer made the coment that after the  day 1 weigh -in they had a 100% live release the previous night.Now that trip was over a hour each way.Its hard to believe, but I'll tip my hat if that did happen. I suppose the colder water might help but to the spawning females it  still is a lot of stress.
