TOTAL STRINGER

Each team will be allowed to weigh in 6 fish total, of which only 2 fish over the slot can be weighed per team.  All state regulations will be adhered to, so if one team member catches a fish over the slot, you could weigh that fish in immediately so the person that caught the fish would be eligible to catch another fish over the slot without being illegal.  Or you could not weigh the fish in hoping to catch a larger fish over the slot.  But if you decide to do this, upon catching the 2nd fish and it is larger than the 1st, you must release the 1st fish immediately.  To make a long story short, no team member can catch 2 fish over the slot without either weighing one and releasing it or releasing the 1st one when the 2nd one is caught.  Remember, only 2 fish over the slot will be weighed per team.  When you decide to weigh a fish over the slot, that fish cannot be removed or bumped; i.e. you weigh in 2 fish during the course of the day - for Big Bass or eligibility as stated above that weighed 4 1/2 lbs. and 6 1/2 lbs. respectively and after you weighed in these fish you caught a fish that weighs 7 1/2 lbs.  You will not be allowed to weigh that fish in.  Once you decide to weigh in 2 fish over the slot, that's it, the remaining 4 fish must be under the slot.  With the Big Bass pots we have going every 2 hours (see below).  some decisions have to be made.
