Rules Summery: This is a 2 day Fishing Tournament. The team with the most points at the end of the two days is the winner. There will be prizes for the top three teams. There will also be prizes for the top three boat crews. There will be optional side Jackpots of $300 for the heaviest Tuna and Dorado over the two day tournament. In the event no tuna or dorado are caught, Wahoo will be the first back up specie in each category. One wahoo per team per jackpot.  In case of a tie, the first fish weighed will take the prize. If no tuna, dorado or wahoo are weighed, jackpots will be refunded.  IN-WATER RELEASES PREFERRED on Billfish and Roosters. An IGFA “leader touch” verifies the catch of all billfish & roosters. All boats must wait for the flare start before setting off to go fishing on both days. All boats must return to the dock with a scorecard by 4:00pm each day. Any score card received after 4:00pm receives a zero for the day. All tournament anglers must photograph all Billfish and Roosterfish in order to receive points. This will also serve as evidence in case any disputes arise. There is a 25lbs. minimum weight on all yellowfin tuna and a 15lbs. minimum weight on all other listed species. Any fish weighed that is under the assigned minimum weight will not score points. There will be a maximum of 15 fish per specie per day that will count towards your score. For example if you have 4 people on your team and you catch 20 tuna, only 15 will count on your score card that day. Any team or team member that kills a Billfish or Roosterfish during the 2 day tournament will be disqualified. Exceptions will be made if determined that the billfish died in the fight. Any billfish/roosterfish which comes to the boat alive must be released. Only women can be on the boat during the two day tournament with the exception of the Captain and Deckhand. There are no fishing boundaries and there is no limit to the amount of bait that can be purchased. Nothing can be passed from one boat to another after 7am except bait form the bait guys. In the event of a tie, day one points will break any ties. If still tied, Second tie breaker will be a coin flip. Any team that violates any rule can be disqualified. No refunds will be granted after the tournament starts. Any and all disputes will be settled by the tournament committee.  Rules summery is not the official rules of this tournament.  Please view or download "official rules" above.
