Alabama Rig And Tournaments

[roughscott]

Not trying to ruffle any feathers, I only ask this because you run tournaments.
What is the difference between a guy in the back of the boat throwing a multi bait rig and the guy in the front of the boat fishing a drop-shot in one hand a jigging spoon in the other? Most tournaments don't allow you to fish with more than one rod at a time.[/QUOTE]
THE GUY IN THE FRONT IS BREAKING THE RULES OF 1 POLE AND THE GUY IN THE BACK DEPENDING ON WHAT TOURNEY DIRECTOR RULES ARE .

In full disclosure I have 2 rigs and never thrown them. So I dont care either way. My question about the legallity creeps up. Say you have a limit of 5 and catch 4 keepers on 1 cast. what is the maximum number of keepers allowed on the boat at one time. Somebody told me 6 while culling. Well all of a sudden you have 9 on the boat. Are you illegal and if you are the ols saying is an 1/8" is the same as a mile. If it is ilegal to have 9 keepers on the boat you have harvest those fish illegally and by all means your catch will be dq'd.
Iam not advocating either way, god knows if it will help catch more fish ill sink the boat with them

Just a question I have. Cause ive never had a situation of having more than one keeper over my limit.

Oh and by the way. If I ever catch 5 keepers on one cast in a tournament it has been a pleasure reading this board because I will most undoubtedly have a heart attack

Your last sentence Bill, cracked me up. You are not in violation just because you caught them as long as you release the excess fish right away. And you are allowed to cull fish in this state. You could already have a limit and catch two on a crankbait at one time. So I wouldn't worry about the too many fish dilemna. That is a nice problem I have not really had.
