Abstract: A Fishing Competition Management and Administration (FCMA) system includes communications and cull management capabilities. The FCMA system includes an angler-based system and an event organizer-based system. The angler-based system is based on a weigh scale and set of cull floats or markers for attachment to each caught and retained fish. The culling product includes the weigh scale and a set of six culling devices, each culling device has a different color. As a fish is caught and weighed, the Culling or Weight Scale will signal to a colored culling float in or outside of the live well. The culling scale determines and stores the weight associated with that particular-colored float and will properly record the weight next to the proper weight color on the screen.

Abstract: A multipurpose rake includes a head portion having tines along one end thereof, and an elongated handle removably connected to the other end. A hand-hold is affixed on the upper face of the rake head intermediate the tines and the handle end, and is shaped so as to be gripped by a hand. A strap is formed into an upwardly projecting loop, and affixed to the handle end of the rake head. In use, the handle may be removed, and a hand extended through the loop in the strap so as to grip the hand-hold. The strap will then be located on the forearm of the user, allowing the user to easily grasp and maneuver the rake head.
