New State rules to prevent the spread of invasive species is causing concern to organizers of the International Falls Bass Championship.Chair Gary Potter says it could impact on fish mortality at the tournament.
"What they want you do do is come off a lake or river, drain everything and then proceed," says Potter. "They want us to do that same. What we're asking for is a little common sense. Let us get down to the park and drain our live-wells there. It's one mile away."
Potter says the tournament would be not be able to afford equipment to re-fill live-wells that ensures fish stay alive when they reach the weigh scales.
