How it works

Prizes will be awarded based on the total length of catches, (i.e. a 20-inch Snook, 30-inch Redfish, and 20-inch Trout, will result in a 70-inch total length). The Tarpon prize award will go to the biggest single fish.

Fish lengths will be measured with the approved resort ruler provided to registrants, and documented with a photograph that must be sent to the resort within 1 hour of each catch or as soon as you get cell phone reception. In the event of any tie, the award will go to the first photo received.

If registrants catch a bigger designated fish over the course of the competition, they can add the bigger catch to replace a smaller catch.
