1. |
The species allowed are
Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, and Muskellunge. |
|
2. |
Size limits must established for
each species of prior to the start of the event. Scoring for "biggest
fish" is dependant of the size of the actual catch over the size limit for
that species. It is recommended to set higher limits to simplify
tracking scores for high activity areas. |
|
3. |
For a fish to be scored it must
be boated and measured. |
|
4. |
If a fish is improperly handled
and killed when releasing, points are not awarded. A fish may be kept
and is only scored if it is presented alive at the time of final scoring. |
|
5. |
Artificial lures only.
While live bait fishing is allowed to make fishing interesting, it is not an
allowed method for scoring a catch. The goal is to force technique in
lure presentation and its effectiveness. The only exception would be
the use of suckers by all parties for Muskie fishing. |
|
6. |
Bonus points are awarded for
each day of fishing. For events lasting over a period of days, daily
points totals are added for each individual to determine a winner. A
fishing day is defined as starting at 12:00 am and ending at 11:59:59 pm. |
|
7. |
If an event is held over a span
of days, daily scores are tallied with added bonus allowed for the day.
The total points for a participant carry over and added to the totals for
the next day. |
|
8. |
Participants must fish the same
lake at a time, but event can cover multiple lakes in a given day provided
all participants move to the same lake at the same time. Should
parties break away, no points are awarded to any participant for the time
period they are separated in different lakes. |
|
9. |
All participants will
demonstrate good sportsmanship and agree not to falsify results or
intentionally mislead other participants of the conditions of parts of the
lake. The intent is to promote a better understanding of lake
structures, effective patterns, and overall knowledge. The information
gathered from multiple participants covering a body of water provides a more
comprehensive overview of a lakes potential. |

Have fun and stay competitive.
After all, that is why we are out here in the first place. |
