Well I know here that our bass season doesn't start until June, so we have very few bass tournaments until then. I don't like to see fish die for no reason either, but I like fishing and I like tournaments so I wouldn't push for either to be banned. They die because of extended time in the hot live well. But I know that our live well has a water circulating system, and we've kept fish all day and released them fine. I know you are upset over the fish kill, but I can't see any other way of smartly controlling a tournament. Maybe a good thing would be to raise the entry fee a little and provide all boats with a bottle of that stuff called Please Release Me ([url "http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_1268____SearchResults"][/url]http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_1268____SearchResults[/url]). It might help.
