OK, here we go. If you hold a tournament YOU are LIABLE. IF someone gets hurt or drowns, YOU are LIABLE. Trust me on this one as I sat on the Round Valley Trout Association Executive Board. The blood sucking lawyers would love to sue you and NJ Fishing dot com.
You mean a bass tournament like the ones in the spring where guys rip the spawning bass off the beds or like the ones in the summer where the guys release the bass at the dock on a hot summer day and they all float away ?
Tournaments and contests add undue stress to the fish for no reason at all. Added handling never helped a fish.
We had contests on here and it seemed guys were bickering in the end over a 1/2" on the tape measure. Ask Chrisper, I think there are at least a hundred on line tournaments going on at any given time.
Save yourself on this one.
What NJF.com does is hold M&G's. Simply put we all meet at a location, get to know one another and enjoy a day fishing. Meet and Greets offer help to those who need help either getting into a boat or just help catching fish. Very relaxed and easy going.
REMEMBER if YOU hold a CONTEST or TOURNAMENT YOU ARE LIABLE should something go wrong.
