I'm still not a fan of the rules on this tourney, mainly the "witness" stipulations that come into pay on rules #7 & 9, with #9 specifically called out.

A 40" inch+ fish that "must be taken immediately to the nearest witness not in your boat for measurement and release" is not in line with the C&R mentality, with the emphasis on the transport of the fish to a witness. Most of us don't have 60" livewells. I don't have that livewell, and I've seen negative side of the transport issue first hand.

I'd rather write a check to MI for the $35 entry fee and not fish the tourney.

Sorry for being blunt....

Actually the promoter of the tourney just wrote a check last week for $300 worth of sucker fry for the rearing pond fish to be stocked into the metro this fall

I've been witness to several fish and have needed a witness for this tourney. I've. Never personally seen someone put a fish in their livewell. There are enough people fishing it that someone either stops and asks if your in the tourney cause they saw yoou catch a fish. Or you just flail your hands around until the nearest boater sees you. That's been my experiance anyway.
