It is a Catch, Photo and Release (CPR) format of fishing and measurement process. None of the fish are needed for a physical weigh-in, as they are released alive, moments after being caught.  Above that, they are released right back to where the angler caught them.  Angler proof is provided on digital records.  No damage to the fishery, no damage to spawning fish.
