If you are just fishing the tournament for the $ or braging rights then follow the rules. If you want to just meet people, fellowship, ect. Don't enter tournament and fish for fun and keep your fish.

Well said and fishing and not entering might be the way to go

Just telling you that I've fished SEVERAL tourneys at Grenada where they had the tanks and NO ONE has said a word. We've caught fish, kept the ones we didn't weigh and IF someone wanted to keep a special fish, all they had tio do is ask. this isn't my first rodeo. Ya'll sounding like a bunch a women, ya worry to much. LMBO

Well these are all good points... Major will find the answers today.

My problem with your plan is the rules Major posted say live fish must go back. If I get to the weigh in with a 3 lb'er I want to mount, and the rules are enforced, I must release it. So instead of sticking our heads in the sand and hope it works out, I propose we attempt to change it. At Arkabutla last year we had a ranger present telling us we had to release our live fish. And I believe Torch was collecting the dead ones to donate.

Still trying to get some clarification but my contact at the Grenada Corps office is not in yet.

Tks major

Thanks for handling this for us Major.

Talked to the Lake Manager a few minutes age but he said I still need to talk to the other guy, who will be out of the office until Wednesday. In the mean time, I got a PM from Rees Guide and he has good relationships with a couple of the Corps guys and will go the their office Wed to negotiate in person. That was great news to me. Thanks a whole lot John.
