I'll be in Rockport that weekend of the GTG but hope to see some huge stringers!

It'll be hard to measure a 30+# blue in a yak, specifically my pescador. So we measure the fish take a pic and release? And the"weigh ins" will be a turn in of the pics or the actual fish?

Just trying to make sure I understand

It is a turn in of Pictures......Most folks use a measuring device called a Hawg Trough to take the picture with, it's a scale designed to be easier to measure a fish with in a kayak. We'll score based on lenghts not pounds - "weigh-in" is sort of confusing - sorry 'bout that!

Jose and all,
For big blues, gar, or anything over about 30 inches any tape measure will be acceptable.

This is a fun tournament to raise money for HOW so we don't want to get "ruled" to death on it.

Has anyone been to the registration site? Any Feedback?
Thanks!

Of course - registration at the store is great too!

Ok, youve got me convinced! Im in! Lookout chess...but if you wanna take a raptor you can. Easier to measure you mamoth beasts in.

Cool!!! Chess needed a little competition!

Who else is in???

The last time we fished he put a whoopin on me...i need revenge. Hahaha

I'm in - just need to decide which one(s) I want to sign up for.

�The tournament will be CPR only (all fish must be released alive)

Why the live release? Releasing your crappie to the grease alive sounds dangerous.

That's a good question.
What we mean is you don't have to bring the fish to a weigh in.
Nobody will be penalized for keeping fish to eat!!!
