This might sound like a stupid question, but how do kayakers, SUP, and especially float tubers keep their catches until weight in time?

Thanks :)

There are weigh boats on call via radio. Mesh laundry bags make a good temporary holding tool.

The annual membership fee is $40 and helps to offset the cost of insurance, trophies and the end of year party. They also have a $5 per event membership fee option for anglers who want to try it out or are unable to commit to the full schedule fishing reels (https://www.mazuzee.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=136_152). The entry fee is only $20 per tournament with an optional $5 big fish pot. For only $25 per event you have the opportunity to meet others who share your passion and compete against some of the best kayak anglers So Cal has to offer.
