I am with lard on this one. Definitely adds a new dynamic to a tired set of rules.

I like the cpr format too. It keeps the bass in there native habitat and doesn't subject them to those tournament culling tags that wind up ripping their lower jaws in half.

ive done my share of tourneys over the years. I have to say I like the cpr method because the safety of the fish is paramount. I never was a fan of punching a cull tag thru a bass jaw. clips were better . never was a fan of mid summer tourneys either with the heat. so many things can contribute to the safety or harm of the fish but I do like that different ideas are being used. question is if you do belong to a local club or just do some local opens how do we encorporate a better system on that level.
