If you ban dead fish you will find dead fish floating through the lake because they will toss them back before the weigh in. I would think small to medium tournaments having more problems than the large pro or state level because of the tubs of chemicals that most of them use....has anyone seen this any different?

The ones I have fished here over the last few years were small enough to get the fish weighed and back in the lake pretty quick. I think that helps.

If you have a situation where there is a line of guys standing there with bags of fish in this hot weather their not gonna hold them off the hot ground and that bag can only hold so much life supporting capabilities and sooner than later the fish are gonna get hotter from the ground and stressed because of the depleteing oxygen and even the waste from the other fish. Yes there is room for improvement....JMHO
