The slot limit is on Elkhorn for a reason. Fish and Wildlife want us to keep the smaller bass. If any doubt this you can ask someone in fisheries. If CPR is your thing that's great. Nothing wrong with that. When I run a tournament, and I have put on a few, I post it on KDFWR website and fill out the post-tournament form with all the requested information including any dead fish. Fishing is fun and it should be. As long as we all abide by the regulations and ethics we can pursue it to our heart's delight in any form we choose.
Raincheck, when it comes to a mount I'm with you on that. A photo is much cheaper too.
