IMPORTANT!

Because this is a high stakes competition, there have been additional tournament rules regarding video documentation implemented to ensure an honest and accurate arena of sportsmanship. As outlined in detail on the Rules Page, all released fish must be video documented, from the time the mate grabs the leader to 5 seconds after the fish is detached and swims away. If you fail to capture this process in its entirety, the release will be disqualified without exception. A 2019 tournament flag, which will be provided in your vessel’s tournament registration packet, MUST be visible in the video clip for all releases. All video clips documenting releases MUST be uninterrupted from start to finish. It is highly recommended that you also video document your GPS time stamp at the time of release. In case of a tie on number of caught fish, time is what will determine a winner.

So make sure you have plenty of battery life, a camera that has plenty of storage capacity, a camera with no restrictions on recording time, a camera that has a view finder, and a camera that has the capability to plug into a tv/laptop in case something needs to be scrutinized by tournament staff. ALL release footage will be viewed by tournament committee. All entrants must have release video available when weighing fish. This isn't meant to confuse or discourage anyone, but instead help to put minds at ease regarding the level of honesty that will be maintained throughout this event. All winners will be subjected to polygraph test on the morning of Sunday, October 6th.
