(CPR) stands for Catch, Photo & Release. This is a very common method of "weighing in" your catch to be tallied. It is the preferred method for kayak fishing tournaments all over the country. You will need a measuring device, some tournaments require you to have a specific one so check first. You also need a camera obviously, you may be able to use your phone for this. Finally, you will more than likely need a "Photo Token" which will be designated by the tournament director. This method works extremely well and promotes Catch & Release which we, as responsible anglers, should be following. The most common measuring device is a Hawg Trough which can be purchased at HOOK1 here http://www.kayakfishinggear.com/

What is (CPR) method?
My first fishing tournament experience was a kayak fishing tournament hosted by a local Marina. While reading the rules of this tournament, I came across this term (CPR) and had no idea what it meant. After asking a buddy what it stood for I felt dumb for asking. So to avoid any of you feeling that way, I'll explain it.
