Each fish photo needs to include the following criteria to avoid possible penalties or disqualification:
a) The entire Bass, from the tip of the lip to the end of the tail, on an approved measuring device.
b) Assigned unique identifier code must be visible.
c)One overhead photo shot frame (not shot at an angle).
d)Fish must be clear of any holding devices including fishing lure or hook.
e) Lip, eye and tail end cannot be obstructed in the photo, even by your hand or identifier. Coverage by your body will impact your score. Covered eye can lead to a disqualification of the catch and the angler will need to submit a better legal picture.
f) If you have a fish with a damaged eye or the appearance of a dead fish then you’ll need to record a video of the catch on your KETCH Board, pick the fish up and identify the area(s) of concern, then of the fish placed back into the water and swimming off alive.
g) Hand and fingers must not be in the gill plate.
