Description:

Fishermen who have been around the tournament circuit know the scene: a pile of billfish, tuna, shark or king mackerel, stacked on the dock like cordwood, baking in the hot summer sun. It's enough to offend any concerned fisherman. This publication is geared toward members of tournament committees and fishing clubs. It presents some alternative ways to conduct a tournament---ways that may help preserve fisheries stocks and reduce the waste of a valuable resource. Discussed are the following alternatives: measure-in and release, total number of fish released, live-wells, increasing the sport of the tournament, minimum weight and underutilized species.
