I saw this comment a number of times - relating to tournament anglers breaking the law - as the "in the live well quantity of fish" or "untagged fish" does not coincide with the general sport fishing regulations and as they relate to that lake.
So - to be clear ........
1) Every tournament is licenced by the province in which it is held.
2) In cases where the tournament format would result in a law being broken - the province issues "a suspension and amendment" to the pertaining laws for the period of the tournament - in other words - they allow the tournament contestants an exemption (or exception) for that period.
Tournaments themselves don't break laws - Tournament anglers aren't breaking any laws participating under the regulations and amendments issued for that tournament either.
