Bass tournament question - style

When writing about catches, after the first reference of 29 pounds, 6 ounces, would subsequent figures be spelled out, 29-6 or 29.6?

I'm seeing it both ways on bass stories, but 29.6 would be 29 6/10 pounds using the decimal system, so that would be technically incorrect.

As usual, the AP stylebook is vague.

Thoughts?

 

29-6 would be correct.

 

Make sure you get whether said bass fisherperson used a Texas rig or a Carolina rig or a jig-n-pig. Or maybe he just chucked a spinnerbait in amongst some structure an' hauled that hog out. And pass the Busch.

 

Inky is definitely correct, seeing I've covered bass tournaments before.

 

29-6 is definitely correct. [/workedtwoyearsasanoutdoorseditor]

 

Is the correct style bo or bo' or boh?

As in, "Them fish were bitin today, bo!"

 

I think you mean, "Them fish WAS bitin' today, bah."

 

And in Carolina where they use Carolina rigs, the local dialect must be "BOO-YAH!"
