The photographs resolution MUST be high enough so we can zoom in and clearly view your wrist band ID#, fish species and size of the fish down to the quarter inch. Check your cameras resolution prior and adjust accordingly.

• The entire fish must be photographed laying straight on a measuring board with either the fishes dorsal fin point up and the top or bottom jaw touching the boards end (0” mark). We will NOT measure your fish nor will ANY fish be allowed at the check-in table.

• All photo entries must be rounded down to the nearest quarter inch. Don’t risk a disqualification if it’s too close to call.

I know I speak for ricci and Mike and myself and my girlfriend and henry when I say this series is going to be awesome! We are going to have so much fun and everybody's going to really get a chance to find some fun fish and experience some great locations.

to put minds at rest we've been discussing the format and rules for this event for the last two and a half months. And we feel that this is the best way to really bring everybody of all skill levels in to this event to have a great time so whether you're a "fresh on the kayak noob" or you've been doing it for 15 years you are going to have so much fun.

Ricci, Mike and I have been working on a lot of fun stuff for this.  So come on out and join us, get some great prizes, build some great memories and have a great time at all of these events.

we are working with some great sponsors and more will come on board as the series builds.

I know I can't wait to see everybody there, and you know I will be at all five events. So this means that some of you will see me 10 or 12 times this year! But don't let that stop you from coming ;-)

Looks like a great series. Where is the camping for the Tahoe event? Do you have a link? If we register and can not make one of the events, can an angler still be a part of the Championship Event?

Victor, the Camping at Tahoe will solely be wherever you choose to stay. The closes Camping to the Launch site( Tallac) would be Camp Richardson.About a quarter mile down the rd from the launch site, and where i assume where most be staying.

I believe if you just signup for one event , your good to go to the Championship Event

 For those camping with dogs the best option is Fallen Leaf Lake Campground across the road. Camp Richardson says not dog friendly on website.

WOW! You guys did a really good job setting up this series. I can tell there was a lot of forethought and insight (along with your own time & money) went into the planning process. Just the logos alone are siiick! Proud of ya'll for doing this.
I've added these events to the Tourney List.

If we register and can not make one of the events, can an angler still be a part of the Championship Event?
I believe you are eligible to compete in the Championship if you register for all 4 events (even if you miss one).

• To participate in the Championship event you must either place in the top 3 at one of the four events or register for all four events (attendance not mandatory). 
• The Championship Event is absolutely FREE, a no cost event to participate.
