First let me say I have never been to Taylorsville but I want to touch on the subject of weighing in fish at two seperate tournaments. I have seen it happen more than once on a different lake. If there was no rule saying that once fish are turned over to the weigh master they become the property of the weigh master there is nothing wrong with what they did. Some clubs and organizations have such a rule in place to elimainate this from happening. So long as they followed the rules of both tournaments no harm done and my hats off to them for winning both tournaments. I remember a couple of years ago I had a friend to get 3rd in one tournament and 1st in another both went out of the same ramp at the same time but one ended 30 minutes earlier so they had to stop at the end time for the shortest tournament. If my memory is correct they have done it more than once over the years.
If your going to do this I suggest you ask both tournament directors if it is aginst there rules and request a represenative from both events to accompany you to the scales to insure you keep the same fish for both weighins. Another suggestion would be tell both tournament directors that you want to be the last boat in the starting line if they have the same take off time. That way nobody will be able to complain if you were boat 4 in tournament one and boat 36 in tournament two but you went out with the starting line up in tournament 1.
