The winners of the Redfish, Snook, and Trout competitions will be determined by the length of the fish, facing leftward, using the angler's own measuring device with the Mason Classical Academy Angler Tournament tag clearly visible.  This view of the fish needs to photographed and the photograph submitted via the iAngler Tournament app to earn credit for the catch.

Please measure, photograph and release the fish as quickly as possible to optimize the chances of fish survival upon release.

The winners of the Bass competition will be determined by the weight of the fish, as measured by a standard, digital scale, in pounds to the tenth place. Each angler taking part in the Bass competition must provide a standard, digital scale for their own use.  They must measure the fish on the scale and take a photograph of the fish on the scale with a clear display of the weight.

The length of the fish also needs to be photographed and recorded using your ruler. The Mason Classical Academy Angler Tournament tag must be visible in both pictures.  All pictures must be submitted to the iAngler Tournament app in order to be judged.  Again, please weigh and photograph the fish as quickly as possible to optimize the chances of fish survival upon release.

If there is a tie for any first place category, the cash prize will be split evenly between the winners.  If there is a tie for the second or third place winners in any category, the prize will go to the angler who caught the fish and submitted their picture earliest in the day.

To qualify for a win, the registered angler must be the person who caught the fish being submitted for judging.
