Would it make sense to change winning criteria to total length of fish rather than weight?

Still doesn't address the fish baskets hidden around the lake. All tourneys including walleye need to be be catch, photo, release. Only the musky guys are doing it right. ​

Aim has been doing it for years. Photo of fish on bump board, they have preweights  set based off of length of fish.

Agree with the above. Not a fan of tournaments but this what should be done. Of course I get the reality of money with advertising/TV deals etc. where guys are holding up their catch and adding extra buzz to the event.  Wish they were all Catch/photo/release after the length is taken

It will never end till tournaments stop people cheat even when there's no tournament either there over the limit cheating or they bs you about how big this monster fish was and the lie grows every year it's the one upper types.

So long as you have tournaments, you will have cheaters. It's all about the bragging rights and money. It's no longer a sporting event, but rather a money event.  It's time we enjoy the sport and take the money out of it. Give the fish a brake.

Could definitely see it; however, I'd think it would require digitally calibrated and verifiable measurements.
