Nice one. Some solid fish in there.

How does the competition work? Do they have live fish bags?

[Binder]

Good ol Biggles won it eh? bet the blokes who spent all weekend paddling around chasing the fish were impressed he sat round the corner from the ramp the whole time for the win!

Do not know how they kept their fish live. Probably live well as most have the largest hobies etc.

Fit buggers as they were reaching the far marker 10 minutes faster than we can in our leccy boats,

Smart thinking by the winners, patience pays off.

But I'm still amazed at the fish handling practises at these events (i.e. hanging fish by their jaws only).  I don't think it is a good example to younger fishos.

Agreed re the handling it seems to be the norm. One of my pet hates.
