So just out of curiosity because I don't watch a lot of tournament fishing, hooked outside of the month is a no go and the weighing of the fish just on the honor system? How does verification work?
When sight fishing (looking at them) we cannot weigh them unless they are hooked inside the mouth. This prevents guys from snagging them in a non-sporting manor. The weights are recorded by an official live and sent to our official leaderboard, this way everyone competing is up to date on where they sit in the tournament. (similar to golf)
@@JVDOutdoors interesting! Was the gentleman with you an official? I noticed you repeated things and it seemed like you were doing it as a record. Hooked in mouth and the saying the weight out loud. Thanks for the response.
