Everyone who weights there fish alive to be released will get a chance for a 200E7 Curado with a Falcon rod.... Your fish will be weighted tagged recorded and released.....you can continue to fish with your team but your live fish weight counts as 1 of your 3

All 3 of your fish can be weight alive if just two on a team one guy will weight two
