All we can do is make anglers aware of the state regulations. The only way you can 100% enforce any rule is to post a Marshal in every boat(not possible). This is no different than any other regulation or event rule enforcement.
Each of you are grown men capable of your own decisions and balancing that with integrity.
I know this. If one us are ticketed by game enforcement, it will be a reflection of us all. If we are easily identified as a group that will readily disregard state regs, than be prepared for the state to make efforts to restrict our access and ability to hold event in the future ie. increased permit cost, instated bass seasons, livewell limits. no cull rules. Can think of a lot more. I know I am giving the extreme.
Lets just all be smart out there and have a good event for everyone.
Good luck to everyone, and look forward to seeing you all there.
Other way around......

Either way I'm there and I'll see you there Jon... heard you went "big time" for a partner so it'll be good to see you all out there.
I am not a fan of the new rule by any means ! However it is a State rule so it should be followed !
Also , I really dont think that it is appropiate for The hosting fishing club or the tourney director playing a roll into the enforcement side of this matter by any means .
HELL NO , you can not see my baits !! YES , im following the rules this wkend !!
If an angler wants to run the risk of playing dirty ...Well , let the WDFW deal with them not another angler !! Thats how inocent people get hurt in our society , just ask the fine folks in florida how that works ..haha
Enough already......who won? Turnout?
I'm curious out of the 9 boats how many people encountered issues with the so called "barbless restriction"... to quote Ron: "stir stir stir"
Same....no laws violated or ignored.
We only lost one hooked fish, immediately after the hookset, so who's to say he was even "Hooked". Constant pressure, a fast reel and a ready net helped a lot.
