Paper Tournament? Thoughts please

[Cobra190]

Having knowledge and trust in those fishing with you is a must. Any doubt and you have a recipe for disaster.

I have fished paper tournaments in the past, no problems. Of course, we were fishing for plaques and not money. Two guys in the boat competing against each other will or should keep it honest.

That's the only way I would fish a paper tourny. An intentional cheat might not happen but having someone watch how the other measures the fish or even have the competitor measure the fish with your approval of the length would work. Honesty or lack of it could ruin that tournament quickly. IMO
