Good question Grant'
Our organization North East Bass Association of NH has regulations in place that carry the penalty of Disqualification if you break the law. We do spot checks and always remind everyone in our events about the lead rules prior to the start of every event.
In addition to the NH lead laws, we also penalize anyone that leaves jigs, lures or plastic in the mouth of the fish they bring to the weigh in.
The bottom line is we enforce the rules set forth by the state as well as our own.
It's always a sad day when you have to DQ anyone, however, it does make everyone pay attention = they don't want to be next.
Thanks for asking,
