Geez if that fish took a shit it would lose more weight than that.

 

[lunkerslayer]

4.53 ml

Just short of a teaspoon.

Guy did you know that grams and ml are the same 60 grams of water is the same weight as 60 ml of water fun fact

 

[Davey Crockett]

Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades .

.01 -- how do you deal with that. Imo if two weights are that close - do you make it a coin flip or is the scale that accurate? depends

 

[NodakBob]

Be the fastest from your pail to the weigh pan...dont want any slime dripping off

 

[espringers]

Didn't the smaller fish of the two actually win the prized prize? Another 10 seconds in that freeze drying cold and he would have won

 

[lunkerslayer]

Correct

 

[BrokenBackJack]

Second place in the perch cat. won the Bronco.

IMHO, offering a more expensive prize at a 2nd,3rd, 4th, or 5th, and NOT as a 1st place prize, reduces the chances of low life scum bags from cheating the other 4000 plus fisher-persons who are abiding by the rules. Seems to be a fun deal and also reduces cheating. They have been doing it this way for years and attendees seem to like the prize format offering a nice prize for NOT having the largest fish in a particular specie. Perhaps soft water tourneys can try this approach?

 

[guywhofishes]

Ingenious - you don't know how many lead weights you need to win.

 

[espringers]

yes. 3rs is correct. it is designed that way specifically for that reason.
