1. General Rules

2. ALL FISH MUST BE REALEASED! Please don’t submit fish if they were kept for any reason.
3. The tournament starts July 1st and runs through July 21st.
4. All fish weights must be calculated by using the Weight Calculator on Bassfishin.com. http://www.bassfishin.com/bassfishingforums/announcement.php?f=6
5. Because this tournament is not for prizes, just bragging rights, we will trust the participants to give the correct measurements for length and girth, although the length has to be shown in the picture. We will trust the participants to only submit fish they caught. Also we will trust that the fish was released.

NOTE: Many of the anglers on the forum are also parents, so if you are a parent and want to submit entries of bass you kids caught you are welcome to, but again, the same rules apply. I will also be randomly picking the one fish out of each region caught by the kids.
