TOURNAMENT RULES

Each Team shall consist of 2 people, one with an aviation affiliation. Retirees are always welcome. No professional or hired guides are allowed.

This is an honor system tournament. You can be in your favorite spot, but there will be no lines in the water until first light on both days.

All fish must be caught on rod and reel. Fish must be caught on artificial bait. No live bait ALLOWED. Fish must measure 14” long and be a large mouth or spotted bass. Weighing an undersized fish will result in elimination.

Each team is allowed to weigh five fish per day. Weigh-in on Saturday is from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, Sunday, 10:00am to 12:00am. Weigh-in will be held at the lower pavilion. Teams must be at the scales no later than the stated times, or your fish will not be weighed.

All efforts should be made to keep fish healthy and alive once caught; however, weighing dead fish is allowed. Dead fish must appear to be caught alive on the day of the weigh-in, and this is at the discretion of the tournament officials.

Teams can launch from the marina of their choice on Toledo Bend. Again, this is an honor system tournament.

The entry fee is $150.00 per boat. On-site Registration is Friday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the “A Triplex.” PLEASE CASH ONLY.
