    NOTE:

    Please make the care of your fish a priority so that the fish can be released with the least amount of stress and a successful survival rate.

    Our weigh in will be open throughout the tournament. If you have a large fish or fish that will not survive until weigh-in you may bring it to be weighed and recorded. We will then release the fish and you can continue to fish. Once the weight has been recorded you may not cull when you come back in.

    If you have fish that you feel will not survive until weigh-in time bring them in so they can be weighed and released.

    All fishermen are subject to a polygraph exam.
