I am extatically happy about this news, you will need to allow some time for people to see your announcement.What happened to everyone that were so keen on making the Tiger Fish Bonanza sound like a fish killing machine? Are they not happy?
It's got my vote, but how do you keep them alive, I still think a measuring board like they do in Namibia is the answer.
Catch, weigh, photo and release is the only the way to go, I will not fish the Jozini Tiger Classic until they bring in a much much more control, regarding catch and release.
It has been reported that of the 20 fish weighed in this year only 5 died, hmmmm, the shock the fish suffers, because it swims away doesn't mean it will survive. I have seen plenty of belly up tigers floating in the dam.
What about the rest of the unweighed fish? Anyone with a decent fish must think he has a chance, so how many of them survive?
I think the whole structure of this competition needs to be revised. There is a system for offshore game fishing where a marlin is caught and released with a photo of the fish and a coloured tag evident, maybe this competition should operate on the same basis, unfotunately some of the 'dinosaurs' who enter this compo, will not accept a commitee decision easily.
Rules can be made and enforced to run the compo this way. A committee would then award points, provided the fish was photographed on a standard measuring board and a winner declared.
