Fair one. Never used to like seeing the Sea Angler reports raving over 40lb bags of small fish and they’re all weighed at the end and dumped back dead. Or they used to be.
As long as nothing that’s wanted for the pot is returned it’s all good
On our match’s everything’s returned unless you want it for bait or food even on rovers you can still fish by yourself your given a playing card to show fish on scales as proof system seems to work if your gonna cheat your a sad individual IMO

Ours are all best specimen hunts but after checking your scales the club trusts you to weigh the fish, photograph it and that’s accepted.
As you say, pretty bloody sad if someone tries to cheat their mates.
I shudder now at the days when we used to take dead 20lb eels or 10lb hounds back to the scales, seems crazy now but wasn’t that long ago, maybe a decade.
Only one fish, but even so. No excuse in hindsight, but that was the norm then.
