Not being a tournament fisherman, I have to wonder why you are permitted to weigh dead fish. Don't some tournaments only weigh live fish or at least assess a penalty? And wouldn't that put the onus on a few careless anglers to take better care of their catch? Just curious.

I fished a Team Supreme tournament out of Deer Creek last Sat. and the tournament director shortened the tournament two hours to 1 pm just for this reason, no dead fish were weighed in, with this heat it was good to get off the water early for the anglers too.
