Some tournaments allow trailered weigh ins. A few years ago, there were some disqualifications in a BFL because some loaded their boats before weighing in. This caused quite a stir especially when you realize the layout of the Detroit River. It is a good question to ask at the pretournament meeting. Some allow and some don't. This one is right up there with culling at the ramp.

Heck, I had a fish try to jump out of my livewell when I opened the lid. I don't want to take fish out on the water unless I have to (I agree with Rick). I know of an instance where a guy was carrying his loaded bag off his boat and all the fish went back in the drink due to a bag malfunction. It also depends on if you know the guys who are fishing. In the Wednesday nighter I fish, I don't have a problem with people going to the lot to bag their fish.
