Fish-o-mania weight ins - Talk Angling fishing chat and tackle advice

Did anyone else cringe during the weight ins at the fish-o final. How hard is it to pull the bottom rings of a keepnet through and gently slide a couple of fish in to a sling.

The NFA reps on the bank should be ashamed of the way they conducted themselves again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The event which is one of the flag ship events of our sport, heavly televised and attended by non-anglers should show how well we treat our fish.

Yes very true, it was the same last year when I was in the final.

Sad to see senior members of the fishing fraternity struggling with a basic requirement of the sport of match fishing. It certanly didn,t portray the right image for me.

There are so few fish caught you would think they could come up with a better system for the weigh in.

To be fair a few of them did a good job i thought.

Although some of them looked very nervous when the camera was on them and they went to bits,which is just normal.

Still a good bit of ammo for the antis all the same.

Get the boys from Whiteacres to do it as they are the best i have seen at this,would look a lot more professional for national TV.
