OK - I'm reading some good ideas.
This VFW tourney will be a 1st - so I'm/we are playing everything by ear.

* My worry is cheats - there is one or two in every crowd.
* Good idea on checking live wells etc..etc.
* Sign In - should this inc name address etc..to properly I.D.every fisherman.
* Draw tourney.Do the boat owners draw names from hat for partners?
* This catch and release is just that.2 men per boat,measure fish,log it,and release it at boat.Cuts down mortality and don't have to weigh anything.Hopefully keeps things real simple.
* Are fish measured to nearest 1/16 - 1/8 - 1/4" ?? Guess need to set that rule up front.
* How would you break a 1st or 2nd place tie with cash prizes at stake?
* Cash Prize - was thinking maybe $30 1st prize for big bass(longest),
maybe $25 for largest crappie and then 2nd prizes is up in the air?? This is considering all 15 boats show @ $15 per man/$30 per boat.
