THE HONOR SYSTEM
|
Unfortunately, dishonest anglers will sometimes claim a fish weighs more than it really does.
We ask you to be as honest as possible when weighing and submitting each fish.
APPLIES TO ALL ANGLERS
If an angler submits a fish that appears to be LARGER than it
really is,
then their fish might qualify to STAND TRIAL.
