at
rod tip and include the proper ribbon in the photo.
Be sure to make certain that the fish can be properly
identified to assure maximum credit.
A completed DNR release card must be turned in at weigh in
for each fish.
Billfish hookups, lost fish, and releases will be called into
the committee boat.
IGFA rules concerning leader and double line will be followed.
Mate may strike
rod and pass to angler. Once fighting a fish, the rod may
not be passed.
If there is a tie on release points, and a tie on release
time,
the tie breaker will go to largest meatfish weighed. |
