Catch 'n release
I'm not sure just how this is supposed to work exactly. On the regulations from my Newell entry, it says that this is a catch & release derby, then at the end it says the largest fish becomes property of the Brooks Kiwanis Club. Hmmm, I don't get it? It also says that any pike under 15 lbs or 36" will not be accepted at the weigh in & must be released. I know the guy that won got to keep his fish for mounting & I also know that the all of the other fish in contention were kept, NOT released! Not to be a hater, because its always a great derby with lots of opportunity & prizes, but what exactly do these rules mean?
