This is a digital event. For a fish to count, anglers must film a video of themselves measuring the fish, saying the code word (given to each angler at the beginning of each event), state their name and the fish’s length, and show the release. The fish must be measured with the head touching the bump on the bump board and the tail displayed to show its' greatest length. The video must be texted in. If a fish is in-between a 1/4 inch mark, then anglers are to round up to the next 1/4 inch.
Videos must be RECEIVED by the event ending time to qualify.
Anglers can fish from shore, kayaks, or a boat. *All anglers fishing together must be registered for the same species.
Anglers who have already been fishing on the reservoir on the day of the event are subject to a MANDATORY boat check. This may be done on the water, but is subject to availability of time by a Catch Rate Official.
