It is unfortunate that individuals chose to dispose of the Pickerel in this way. This tournament was to be catch and release, and to follow all the state of RI regulations. We at the Victory Sportsman Club do not encourage or condone these actions. Overall the day was quite a success and we hope that the actions of a few individuals do not keep others from coming to future events. We will have more spotters in future fishing events. Thank you, Newt Stevens, Victory Sportsman Club.
