When Utah officials realize the potential of tournament angling in this state, and the economic benefits of attracting major events to our local waters, they will change the regulations to allow a five-fish limit to be caught, kept in a live well, weighed, and then released. Until then, anglers like Tracy and Mandy Myers will have to settle for fishing smaller venues, though no one can take away the fantastic feeling Mandy had after catching her huge bass.[/quote]
BS! Utah officials should never break down and allow special interest groups to keep fish outside of slot limits in live wells...slot limits are in place for a reason and the laws we have in Utah are in place for good reason. If fishermen want to have tournaments fine, but they should never be allowed to hold tournaments where fishermen are exempt from following laws.
