donated to the Larry Mann Family. Anyone can fish this tournament
alone at the full entry fee. Entries must be received by the
Tournament Director no later than Thursday prior to the tournament,
or presented in person before the pre-tournament meeting which will
be held Friday, August 8th at 8:00pm, to be in the drawing for boat
position. Late entries will be accepted by cash only payment at the
ramp, but will be assessed a $10 late fee, and will be placed at the
end of the field. A $20 fee will be charged on all returned checks.
4. SAFETY: Coast Guard approved life jackets, kill switch and
working bow and stern running lights are mandatory. Life jackets and
kill switch must be worn when the boat is on plane. Breaking any
state or federal boating law may be cause for disqualification.

sporting manner. Only one rod and reel per contestant is allowed in
use at any one time. Dip nets are allowed.
7. SCORING: 4 fish limit, 14 inches, only largemouth/black bass,
Kentucky/spotted bass or smallmouth bass are allowed. Bass must
measure 14 inches or more on flat board, mouth closed in any way to
get tail to touch. Total stringer weight will determine winners. Any
team bringing more than 4 fish to the weigh-in will have their catch
for that day disqualified. Once fish have been turned over to
tournament officials, they become the property of the tournament and
no fish may be added to the catch. A short fish is a 1 lb penalty
and loss of that fish. The Director and/or Rules Committee reserves
the right to refuse the weighing of any dead bass.
8. DEAD FISH PENALTY: No dead bass will be weighed at this event.
9. CULLING: No culling is allowed after checking in with check-in

of emergency or life threatening situation. In such an emergency,

contestants can hitch a ride to the weigh-in with another

such problems.

their livewell checked prior to 9:00 pm. Contestants may begin

have their livewell checked by 2 separate competing teams before
proceeding to fish. This violation must be reported to the
Tournament Director upon arrival at the weigh-in.
18. WEIGH-IN: The weigh-in will begin at 7:00 am. Flights will be

all claims, injuries and/or damages incurred with the tournament
officials and staff.
