Let me start out by saying I don't fish tournaments that much. I would like to see a 10 fish limit brought to the scales. The reasoning is it truely sets the winners apart from the rest of the field. The Limit should be hard to obtain. Catching 10 quality fish is harder than 7. This would also eliminate one big fish skewing the results.
If it is a FJ/small local tournament, then why not weigh the legal limit per person? These fish are most likely going to go home in and get put in the freezer anyway. This would be a true measure of who was the best on the water that day, not just who was lucky and caught 2 big fish and 5 average fish to finish out the tournament limit.
