Instead, each team will have the opportunity to bring in photos of ALL the legal walleyes caught and choose the largest five to count towards their daily weight. (The length of the five walleyes will be converted to pounds and ounces using a standardized formula prior to taking the stage.) Because all fish are immediately released, weigh fish can include fish over or under the “slot length” that would otherwise not be permitted under some local regulations.
The AIM Catch-Record-Release™ format has two huge advantages for the sport of competitive angling. First, AIM tournaments are scheduled at the best times of the year for catching the most fish for each tournament site. Secondly, AIM tournaments will reward the anglers that catch the biggest fish – not the anglers that were fortunate enough to catch fish in a certain order, dictated by local slot limits and possession rules.
Another significant advantage of the AIM Catch-Record-Release™ format is the elimination of fish kill that can occur using traditional weigh-in formats. The CRR format puts a positive spin on professional fishing and it has allowed AIM to schedule tournaments in communities that have received negative public feedback following tournaments events held in the past.
