Rules and RegulationsClick to Read
Fishing for Hearts 2018 is a catch and release charity tournament in which anglers or the designated Captain of their vessel report via the iAngler Tournament app the species type (snook, redfish, and seatrout) and length with validation via a picture that contains the respective chip number issued to the angler the morning of the tournament.
Five awards will be issued for the tournament. Awards consist of the following:
1) Tournament Champion - an angler who has logged all three species (snook, trout, redfish) that are approved by the judges as valid and the combined length of that angler's largest catch of each species is greatest of all competitors.[NOTE: Upon validation as Tournament Champion, angler catches from the tournament are REMOVED from consideration in each of the largest species caught categories]
2) Logging Champion - the angler who has landed and logged the most fish during the tournament that the judges have approved as vaiid. Fisheries data collected during the tournament, no matter whether a fish is the biggest an angler has caught, is useful to assessing fish stocks and anglers are promoted to log all their catches if they choose to do so.
3) Largest Redfish - the angler what has logged and had approved by the judges as valid, as the largest redfish caught during the tournament.
[NOTE: If the Tournament Champion's catch is largest, it will be REMOVED from consideration, making the second largest redfish the winner of "Largest Redfish".]4) Largest Snook - the angler what has logged and had approved by the judges as valid, as the largest snook caught during the tournament.
[NOTE: If the Tournament Champion's catch is largest, it will be REMOVED from consideration, making the second largest snook the winner of "Largest Snook".]5) Largest Sea Trout - the angler what has logged and had approved by the judges as valid, as the largest Sea Trout caught during the tournament.
[NOTE: If the Tournament Champion's catch is largest, it will be REMOVED from consideration, making the second largest Sea Trout the winner of "Largest Sea Trout".]RULES & REGULATIONS

Anglers on any vessel do have the option to download iAngler Tournament on their smartphone, carry it on the vessel and log their own catches to alleviate designated Captain responsibilities the day of the tournament. Designated Captains will be given information from tournament organizers the day of the tournament on how anglers can access the profile (username and password) set-up for each angler in the tournament judging system.Lines in at 8:30am
