How did gift horse not get lunker
Here is why , we included the weight of the bag itself in the TOTAL BAG WEIGHT, but when we weighed the Lunkers we weighed them out of the bag so in essence everyteams bag is actually a POUND LESS than the actual standings, since gift horse only weighed one fish to keep things fair I kept the bag weight included
This will not be an issue next year we are switching to a table top scale like every other bass orginazation uses (notice I didnt say club) to eliminate issues like this, as well as to make the process of weighing in more efficent.
I would also recommend that every team purchase a weigh bag , so come weigh in time the fish are bagged , teams form a line, we weigh , snap pics and release the fish, less stress on the fish and the group as a whole
