The request is to practice catch and release practice for the Fishing For A Cure

tournament. We encourage all to fish with ethical and high standards regarding

measurement. At registration we will be handing an ID tag in Ziploc bags tag to photo

with the fish to be measured. Place ID tag in the picture next to Fish or on its center so

it can be seen. The specifics are documented below, any questions on measurement

can be discussed with the contact list on web page. If the scale cannot be read, then

we will disqualify the picture and catch. Please save Walleye, Small Mouth, and

Channel Cat pictures for check in.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Use a measuring tool: A bump board is ideal, but a ruler or tape measure can

also be used.

2. Lay the fish flat: Place the fish on its side on the measuring tool.

3. Close the mouth: Ensure the fish's mouth is tightly closed.

4. Pin the tail: Gently pinch the tail lobes together.

5. Overlay the ID card for the tournament in center of the fish that states Name,

Date and Time to ensure accurate accounting, ID Cards will be available at

check in before tournament.

6. Measure straight: Measure the longest straight-line distance from the tip of the

nose or jaw to the tip of the tail, being careful not to measure along any curves.

7. Record the measurement: Note the length to the nearest 1/8th of an inch.
