I am very pleased to announce that we have secured Weigh-In services from the Coastal Bend Weigh Team out of Hitchcock ,Tx. We want to make this tournament run as smooth as possible & we also want it to be fair for everyone involved. I felt like hiring a 3rd party weigh master with over 10 years of experience running weigh stations was the best way to take all the guess work out of the weigh-in. I have added the following to the 1st post in this thread:
WEIGH-IN / WEIGH MASTER: Coastal Bend Weigh Team out of Hitchcock ,Tx will be handling the weigh-in services for the tournament. They have been working weigh stations for over 10 yrs. All scales are certified & weigh in lbs and ounces. Certified backup scales will be on location if needed & a certified SS 20# weight to verify accuracy of the scales will also be available if needed. Coastal Bend Weigh Team uses ONLY a CHECK-IT stick for measuring the length of fish. The weigh master will be the only person that touches the fish and makes the calls. If a discrepancy arises, directors will be notified and WE alone will make the final judgment. Upon arriving @ the weigh station anglers should hand in their weigh ticket, then the weigh master will inspect the fish for freshness, mutilation, stuffed bellies, and its size/slot limit etc. The fish will then be weighed and measured. The angler will need to sign the weigh masters log book to verify the weight & length of his or her fish. Coastal Bend Weigh Team will keep the tournament leader board updated as anglers weigh-in their fish throughout the event.
