Went by Wally world earlier tonight and saw the FLW trailer and a about 30 or 40 boats, these folks were having a weigh in at the parking lot here in glasgow 10 miles from the nearest boat ramp, exactly how were they handling the return of the fish to the lake? I heard one man say there was a trailer with a airated tank on site and that the fish were being placed in it to be returned later. I did not see such a tank, but I did see lots of live wells spraying water out coming around corners while coming through town. While I can see the big draw for having the weigh in in town it seems a little hard on the fish. I am not ranting or against the tourny but they say there are more than 100 boats in this one now that has a potential of catching thousands of fish and up to a thousand to be brought to weigh in. I was wondering how do they handle this big of load of living fish. I know beaver creek is just a half mile down the road but it is not all that full and to release that many in that small branch it would take an a very long time to make it back to the lake. This may be a dumb question for some of you but I was taught the dumb question was the one not ask. so please educate this old hillbilly.
