This is a catch and release striped bass surf tournament
Leader board positions are determined by overall length of your fish
Start time Friday October 10th at 6pm and ending Sunday October 19th at 11:59 pm
Upon catching a fish you wish to submit as an entry, you will need to measure and take a picture of the entire fish with ID card and show length from tip of head to longest part of the lower or upper part of the tail, with ruler placed next to fish and showing 0” starting at the head. We all have measured fish before and know what to do.
Entire fish, ruler and ID card must be in picture in order to be valid
Fish photos must show entire fish
Ruler next to or if needed laying on top of fish
Ruler must be legible and fully visible with no bends or bows
Hand written ID card must be in picture showing anglers name and code
Pics must be clear and not blurry (take a bunch if needed and submit the clearest)
If there is a tie in lengths the tie breaker win will go to the first submitted pic (doesn’t matter what time you caught the fish, fish is scored from the time your submitted pic is received)
This is a merit based benefit tournament, please keep that in mind, this is for fun and more importantly it’s for a cause, But the 1st place trophy is a 1 off and of course will bring some bragging rights.
Some pictures will be posted to the event page, so take some decent action shots and forward along
Friday October 10th we will be posting the code you need to write on the ID cards and phone number provided to text your fish entry pics
You can only win one placement, your placement is based on your longest fish
ID cards - Simple way to do them is a large index card or half sheet of printer paper with hand written anglers name and code in sharpie, you can put clear packing tape over the writing to protect it from water smearing, Make a couple cards to take along.
GYOTAKU Raffle
GYOTAKU doormat fluke print by Som. This is a one of a kind stand out display piece.
This piece measures 37 x 22 inches and has been created on canvas as an authentic imprint of the actual fish. Using traditional Japanese ink, the fish is carefully printed and then hand-rendered. Each work is finalized with signature stamps, personally carved from stone in South Korea.
Gyotaku (魚拓) is a traditional Japanese art form that began in the 1800s as a way for fishermen to record their catches.
