Hawg Trough - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Is anyone familiar with the CPR (catch, photo. and release) method using a Hawg Trough?
It's a method used in most of the Hobie World Tournaments and all over the Eastern and Southern USA ... It utilizes an app for your phone from iAngler.
You catch your fish, put it on the board and photograph it with a card or token that is given out the morning of the event and submit it to the app which goes to the Tournament director to tally the final lengths.
Hobie and the CCA are in support of this method as it's really the best for the fish's health on release.
Do you think that this system could work here in So.Cal for future tournaments?
I'll be attempting to put together a couple of CCA fundraiser kayak tournaments next year and I'd like to get some input on this tourney method which we are considering implementing.
Thanks...
