2013 "Spring Classic of Champions"

ENTRY FORM

This year we will again be using judge boats throughout the Chain. Anglers will be required to signal a judge boat and have their fish measured at boat side. Keep your fish in the net and that will eliminate the need to transport a fish. This will improve chances for a better release of the fish and it will allow you to fish all day. A boat side release and not taking fish out of the water does not constitute possession which will allow you to continue to fish throughout the day providing each fish is released successfully.

A Structured payout will be put into place based on a full field of 150 boats. Ten (10) places will be guaranteed. In the event the field is not filled a graduating scale will be used but ten (10) places will be paid. Here is an example of the payout:
