I would not enter any tourneys that you would need to kill any fish over 24+. I dont keep large walleye(24"+) as my own personal rule of thumb. IF I could bring them back in a live well then release them later, I would be all about it..... but you would still have a lot of the others that would kill anything big they caught.
Sorry to say but having a fair tournament takes a lot more thought, time, preparation and maybe even a permit to make it worth your while. While that is my opinion, I love the idea of fishing tournaments and competing for the honors. Why dont we just have a die hard walleye fun fishing day, where anybody who wants to step to the plate just has to have a camera and a fishing partner. A quick pic next to a tape measure on the ground and back into the lake the fish go, unless those who wish to keep them can.
I am not trying to steal your thunder. Try what you have suggested. I would like to see what comes of it.
Hey BOB,
I would be proud of myself for catching 10..... 17" walleyes out of utah lake on any given day.......I am yet to get even one out of there. But....... if you catch a 29" this spring I will bow to you for sure, even if you do keep the fish. Utah lake is a tricky lake for beginners(ME). Now if you want to come to my home field(Starvy) I might have a better chance at competing. I am sure you have done well there too.[fishon]
Maybe I should have gotten my butt over to the seminar tonight to learn more about the ones at UT lake.
