OFFICIAL RULES CONTINUED
ELIGIBLE FISH: Dolphin & Black Fin Tuna are the only species of fish eligible for cash prizes. All fish presented for weigh in must be in fresh, edible condition and caught that tournament day. No mutilated fish will be accepted. Mini-mum acceptable weight of 10 pounds is required for entry of a fish into the
tournament (youth division excluded). Fish must be weighed on the day they are caught. Once the fish takes the bait and the reel is engaged the Angler is the only one who can touch the rod and reel line and the double line. Anyone on the boat may touch the leader and gaff the fish.
ELIGIBLE WATER: Anglers are only allowed to fish in the
waters off the Florida Keys. (Key Largo to Key West)
WEATHER CONDITIONS: Boat Captains are ultimately responsible for their equipment and crew, and should make
the decision as to safe sea conditions.
POLYGRAPH: All winning Anglers may be subject to and must pass a polygraph test. Any person aboard the winning
Angler’s boat may also be subject to and must pass a
polygraph test. Refusal to take the test will result in
disqualification. Using any drugs or alcohol to pass the lie detector test will result in disqualification with no refund.
TOURNAMENT HOURS: “Lines-in” at 7am on both
tournament days. Weigh-ins for the tournament are from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Saturday, July 11, 2020, and on Sunday, July 12, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm 2020. You must be in line to weigh your fish before the tournament ends for that fishing day.
PROTESTS: Any protests concerning the conduct of an angler or rules violations must be filed in writing with the tournament committee the day of the alleged violation, no later than the end of the weigh-in time for that day. A $100 cash deposit must accompany each protest. All decisions of
the rules committee are final.
TIES: In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by
the time the fish was weighed in.
