Tournament Rules and Regulations:

• e.- Aggregate of 3 longest trout = total score

Photo Requirements:
Once you catch a trout, take a photo of your catch with the wrist band, submit the photo to our judges for scoring, and track live leaderboard updates all within the iAnger app!

• Official tournament Wrist band permitted
• Measurement on a standard ruler must be clearly visible with the wrist band shown in the photo.
• Photo must also be time stamped to count
• Measurements based on nose to “pinched” tail length
• Only paid Anglers with wristbands can enter a fish, preferably everyone fishing on the boat should be entered into the tournament but if not, by no means are you allowed to count a fish caught by someone else in your boat!!
• In the case of a dispute or suspicion of cheating occurs, winner could be subject to a lie detector test. The opposition angler would have to put up the $100 to cover the test. If the winner passes the test, opposition loses the $100.

Please do your best to take good quality photos , showing the whole fish. Judges reserve the right to throw out photos that do not meet the requirements.
