newb question - AOTY fish rejected

...how do I find out why it was rejected?

this my first year, think i filled it all out correctly, picture seems fine - how do I get feedback on why my submission was rejected?

Thanks,
newb.

Post a picture. Also...your name does not show up in the AOTY list of registered users.

If you look at your rejection it’s in the comments area. I rejected it. I’ll send you a PM and you can share with others why if you want.

hey all, John answered my question, I had a number of issues with this particular fish I submitted
1. using lip grippers to hold the fish
2. fish smaller than legal keep length (I did CNR fyi)
3. I thought it was black bass, was actually a spotted bass.

thanks.

yah, not sure why my name isn't up there, paid on Friday

You’re all set now. Sorry for lagging Brian. The payment & account activation process is still done manually...it’s not automated yet.
As for the rejected fish—it’s a learning process, but I guarantee AOTY will improve your fishing knowledge, species identification, and picture-taking skills!

Thanks! appreciate all the help.  Yah, looking forward to this - this will have me going after some species I'd typically ignore....like those dang bass in Folsom that keep skunking me.
