Tourney regs in discussion in Wisconsin

It sounds like, to me, that they want a "controlled study" such as it is.

If you do a "study" and let some guys have 30 gallon home-made tanks with
oxygen input, and the next guy has a 6 pack cooler with two ice cubes..any
data that you get back is meaningless.

I'd hope that the "study" would establish parameters that make sense;
i.e.....manufacturers who have proper live-wells which actually keep the
fish alive, not just sell the boat; etc. etc. The final regulation's, one
would hope, would define size and volume limitations, but not a
"manufactured by" limitation. RichG

Seems some people want to test out the theory that only boats with
factory live wells should be in tourneys and then they are going to
try culling also. Only participating boats will be allowed to try out
culling. I need to find out more info. The article in the Milwaukkee
Uranal/Sentinal was a little vague.

I am leery of any study done with the parameters they have.

Pretty much how I feel.

Water flow and areation not size should be the criteria. Unless of
course you are trying to sell boats with large live wells.

I'm sure they will f*** it up for guys like me with hi flow small size
livewells. I know here in Wi they want much more control over
tourneys. Unfortunatly dey ain't smart enough to even have a thought
about the right way.
