2.) Culling balls with safety pin type clips are no longer allowed. If you bring a fish to the scale with the puncture type pin you will be given a warning. The second time will result in a 1-pound penalty.
3.) This year we will redraw the blast off positions after first day weigh in. We will record the 2nd day order and then turn in the chips to Fish Committee Chairman for morning pick up.
