Measuring Example
Fishes Mouth is Touching the bump board
One hand on the side of the fish securing it
One hand pinching the tail to get maximum length
Round up to the next 1/4 inch when measuring. In this example, the fish was just over 20 inches, so it is a 20 1/4 inch fish.
Coaches review each entry and will adjust the length accordingly.
Hero Shot Example

Each virtual tournament is at least nine days in length, usually to accommodate two weekends. Dates are 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟱-𝟭𝟯, 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟭-𝟭𝟭, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝟲-𝟮𝟱.
Within the tournament period, students can fish any 2 days and will be required to communicate their fishing days to the tournament director prior to the start of the tournament period.
