Abstract
Invention relates to an accurate, yet inexpensive system for recording and maintaining the weight of fish caught during a fishing competition, where the object is to catch and retain a predetermined number of fish, of the highest weight, within a prescribed time limit. The system utilizes a light-weight, weather proof board having color coded indicia thereon, and pegs for quickly recording the weight of a fish, where such system cooperates with a live well using color coded floaters, and that a given floater is assigned to a selected fish. The system allows for easy culling when the predetermined limit of fish is exceeded.

A portable and floatable weight tabulation board for recording weights of fish caught during competition, where an object of the competition is to catch and retain only the heaviest fish up to a predetermined number of fish,
- said board comprising a lightweight, generally rectangular, floatable member having first and second major surfaces, said board including a water-resistant coating;
- a) said coating along said first major surface including a plurality of different identifying indicia along a first edge thereof,
- i) a row of recesses along a second edge for removably receiving a series of peg members, and
- ii) an array of dual row recesses, one for each said different identifying indicia, where one row thereof designates weight increments, and a second row designates weight fractions;
- and
- b) said second major coated surface including attachment means for removably securing said board to a supporting planar surface.
