I was at his events last year and your going to be amazed when see how smooth everything goes! Everything from blast offs to the weigh-ins are well strectured and fast! Remember cory wont make you wait to weigh in your 20+ pound bag so i would assume many teams with big weights would be in much earier. As for the fish they simply go from your livewell to the holding tank where 2 or 3 teams will be. Once one team weighs another comes up so its always moving so no fish would be in a tank for hours!
