It is inevitable.....just think about what one boat does....and then multiply it by all the boats in the fleet doing the same thing.....if everyone keeps just because it is a keeper....there will be no keepers left. So, if someone wants to be in the pool but release his/her fish why can't a quick pick/weight be taken, recorded with witnesses and the fish released??? I bring this up because on one trip I couldh've won the pool but decided to release my fish. Capt. Dave
Depends Which "PARTY" Boat's you fish. Our pool rules clearly state "Catch and Release will be honored".....however, this is still a free country with Captains and Boat owners making their own rules.....ask before you enter, as stated many times before.
