Macgregor being catch and release only
Newel being on a tag system.
We can only fish the lakes with regulations where we are allowed to keep fish and have to follow the same size limits as the regs state. There were teams disqualified after weighing in a fish that was a millimeter or 2 short last season.

That makes no sense whatsoever - so Goverment is saying it is fine for us to catch and release 100 walleye a day in Pine coulee or Crawling or Pigeon, but it is not ok for tournament? Help me I am getting confused here...Does that mean that they consider tournaments as increased risk for morality of the fish and thus they should be held only where fish can be kept? To me it looks like experienced anglers in tournaments know better how to handle the fish and thus will be lesser risk then once a year fishermen at Pine Coulee for exampe...
