Yup, the dream might become a reality:

A longstanding state law that prohibits culling in Wisconsin might be
lifted, pending the outcome of a study by the Department of Natural
Resources. Wisconsin Bass Federation president Mike Hoffman said the
outcome will likely boil down to a battle between those who support
tournament fishing and those who are against it. Click here to read more

I, for one, am dyin to get back on Boom & do some culling lol.

Does Wisconsin require a permit for tournament fishing? If it doesn't
could this new adjustment to regs lead to requiring one?

Wisconsin does require tournament permits once they are above a certain
size. This number is determined by number participants and the value of the
prizes awarded. Most smaller tournaments such as the Northwoods Classic
don't require a permit.

That sounds reasonable... I would sure be interested in seeing the new regs
if I was affected to see how it applies. For instance would the culling
allowed reg only apply to permittted tournaments, or could two guys decide
to go fishing and claim they are having a tournament.

From what I've read in the preliminary regulations, culling would only be
allowed in permitted tournaments. So, your scenario would still be a
violation of the state's "No Culling" regulations.

If the new ruling does go into effect, then participants in the Northwoods
Classic would be able to cull, providing I as tournament director, applied
for and received a permit.
