10 percent of the field will be paid out in the slam division
A cajun slam is:

One redfish that must be 18” or longer and UNDER 26”
One speckled trout that must be 13” or longer AND
One flounder that must be 11” or longer

The length requirements above must be met AT THE TIME OF WEIGH IN. Full three fish slams supersede any
two fish slams for placement and awards. There will be no culling at the weigh in table. You should have your
fish culled before getting to the weigh in table.
SINGLE FISH DIVISIONS AND PRIZES:
Single fish division prizes will be awarded for heaviest overall weight for each species. Prizes will be
determined and announced prior to tournament.
STUD RED: Heaviest redfish that is 18″ or longer AND that is LESS than 26″ long. 1st – 3rd place will be
awarded.
MULE TROUT: Heaviest speckled trout that is 13″ or longer. 1st – 3rd place will be awarded.
SADDLE FLOUNDER: Heaviest flounder that is 11″ or longer. 1st – 3rd place will be awarded.
LEOPARD RED: Redfish with the most spots. 1st – 3rd place will be awarded. NOTE: If any part of the black
inner spots is touching then it is counted as a single spot. There must be a break between the black portions
for spots to be counted as individual spots.
NOTE: Contestants will be allowed to win only one category (exception for Ladies and Senior Divisions as
noted below). The weigh-in team, utilizing our computer software, will determine if your submission will
place better in the slam division, a single fish division, or in the leopard red division. An individual angler can
submit up to 4 fish – one of each species to enter the slam category and an additional redfish to enter the
leopard red category. If an angler’s heaviest redfish is also a multi-spotted redfish, that redfish can be used as
best benefits the angler to put him/her in a position to win the biggest single prize for which he/she might
be eligible.
OTHER CATEGORIES:
SENIOR CAJUN SLAM BONUS: The angler who is 60 years of age or older (on the day of the tournament) who
catches the heaviest Cajun Slam wins a bonus prize. This angler also remains eligible to place in any of the
regular categories listed above.
LADIES CAJUN SLAM BONUS: The female angler who catches the heaviest Cajun Slam wins a bonus prize. She
also remains eligible to place in any of the regular categories listed above.
*FREE KID’S CAJUN SLAM DIVISION: Junior anglers can participate in the Jr. Angler Division for free. An adult
who is a paid participant must accompany them. The same rules as our regular Cajun Slam Division apply.
Kids age 16 and under who have elected to pay and register to fish the general Cajun Slam will compete at
the adult level and will not be eligible to fish the Jr. Angler Division. Kids fishing the Jr. Angler Division are
permitted to ride and fish in a kayak with another angler, however any fish caught must be kept separate or
clearly and plainly marked so as to make them readily distinguishable from the other anglers catch. Simply
put, do not store all the fish in the same ice chest or ice bag unless they are placed on separate stringers or
otherwise marked so that each angler can clearly identify his/her catch. Use of different colored zip-ties is a
popular method of marking fish.

to assume all risks of personal injury, death, and damage to or loss of property and further agree to
indemnify and hold BCFKC, its officers, members, agents, and sponsors harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, and causes of action resulting directly or indirectly from participation.
FISHING LICENSE: All anglers are required to have a valid Louisiana, Fresh and Salt water Fishing license.
KAYAK/WATERCRAFT REGULATIONS:

Watercraft propulsion is open to paddle, pedal, pole, and motors.

stand-up paddle boards (SUP) and canoes. NO soloskiffs or vessels marketed at skiffs allowed.
No “homemade” kayaks, sailboats, johnboats, pirogues, coracles, rowboats, dinghies, skiffs, float tubes,

watercraft or similar.
The use of a manual or motorized anchor system is permitted.
Mother shipping, tethering, holding or any transportation coordination with a non-competitor is strictly
prohibited.
Contestants are allowed to wade fish or fish off the bank but ONLY as long as the angler remains within 100’
of their LAUNCHED paddle craft. Launched means your kayak is partly in fishable water, not a parking lot
puddle.

MOTOR ELIGIBILITY:

Electric Motor Propelled kayaks must meet the following requirements to be approved:
Electric motor must be attached to the kayak in a safe manner for operation.
An electric motor used to propel a watercraft may not exceed the lesser of (a.)3 HP, or (b.) 155 foot-pound

horsepower/thrust/power rating.
Motors with dual props operated by a single power source are permissible as long as the unit is
manufactured and sold as a single unit.
Vessel must be 9’ minimum and shorter than 18’.
Vessel that the manufacturer identifies and sells as a kayak, including inflatable kayaks and modular kayaks,

prohibited.
By officially entering, contestants agree to submit their kayak to an inspection by BCKFC personnel.

PRIVATE LAUNCHES & PRIVATE FISHING AREAS: Anglers must launch from publicly accessible launch
locations. There is an exception that an angler may launch from private property as long as it is not further
than ½ mile from the nearest publicly accessible launch location. Combat launches are allowed so long as all
anglers have the legal right to launch from that location. Fishing behind gated areas of the marsh is not
allowed unless the angler has arranged for all other participants to also fish the area that day AND has made
that possibility known to all by posting appropriate information on our forums at least one week in advance.
WATER COURTESY / ENCROACHMENT: Do your best not to disturb someone else’s fishing area, by
encroachment, or noise. An angler officially establishes his/her fishing area by having their craft anchored in
place. If you come upon an angler in an egress area, as quietly as you can, ask which side he or she would
like you to cross at. A good rule of thumb is that if you can both cast to a common point you’re too close.
Respect others and use the golden rule.
PROTESTS: All protests must be written and submitted electronically (text/email/direct message from social
media) within 30 minutes of the conclusion of “weigh in” to be considered. The tournament director is the
final authority on deciding the merits/outcomes of a protest. All anglers are encouraged to report cheating.
CHEATING/FOUL PLAY: All anglers are encouraged to report violations. Cheating and contest fraud in a
fishing tournament is a felony crime in the state of Louisiana. Bayou Coast will enforce a zero-tolerance
policy with regard to cheating.
POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION: All participants, by signing up, agree to take a polygraph examination if
requested. Any participant can be asked to submit to a polygraph examination. No explanation shall be
required from the hosts of the tournament as to why a specific individual is asked to submit to a polygraph
examination. Refusal to submit to or failure of a polygraph examination will result in disqualification from
the tournament, forfeiture of any and all prizes / awards, and potential banishment from all future Bayou
Coast events. No refunds for tournament fees will be granted for person(s) refusing to submit to or failing a
polygraph examination.
RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE: A waiver, release of liability, and covenant not to sue
are part of the entry form. It is required that all contestants take responsibility for themselves while
participating in event activities. Please DO NOT let your competitive nature push you into doing dangerous
things. You must agree to the Waiver to participate. The Waiver is in the online registration page linked
below. BE SAFE, BE SEEN, AND WEAR YOUR PFD!
DEPTH FINDERS: Depth finders / fish finders are allowed.
COMMUNICATION: No electronic communication with non-registered anglers during tournament hours,
unless not fishing related (your spouse/kids, work, etc). No pre-arranged coordination with any non-
registered anglers on the water for the purpose of scouting or locating fish during tournament hours.
PFD REQUIREMENT: You must properly wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD while afloat in your watercraft
during all Bayou Coast events. PFD’s must be worn outside of the angler’s outermost layer of clothing. Failure
to comply with this rule during competition could result in disqualification from the tournament.
Disqualification will be determined by the Tournament Director based on investigation of any specific
incident. PFD’s may only be briefly removed on the water for the purpose of adding, removing, or adjusting
clothing while an angler is stationary and not actively fishing.
RULE CHANGES: Interpretation of rules is exclusively left to the Tournament Directors and Bayou Coast
Officers. The decisions of this group are final in all matters and are not subject to appeal. Please do your part
in not providing a reason to place them in a position where they must make rulings, decisions, etc. Keep it
simple, keep it clean, and when in doubt…do the right thing.
LEGAL TACKLE / BAIT: Artificial, live, and dead bait are allowed. Scent infused baits such as Gulp, etc… are
legal. Scented dips, dyes and sprays such as Bang attractant, Pro-Cure, Dip-n-Glo, etc… are legal. Chum is not
allowed. All fish must be caught in a sporting manner using a rod and reel setup. Trolling, and the use of up
to 2 setups at a time is allowed. Trot lines, jug lines, traps, etc. are not allowed.
LEGAL FISH: Each participant must catch their own fish. You may not give fish to another participant. You
may not net a fish for another (adult) participant. Youths should hook and retrieve their own catch. A
parent/guardian may net fish for them and may handle the fish once it is netted (including pictures in CPS
events). In CPS events, anglers (participant or not) may not aid in taking pictures of fish in any way.
Culling of dead fish while on the water is not allowed. Current Louisiana law only allows anglers to possess
two speckled trout over 20.00”.
PRESERVATION of FISH: For weigh in events, “Air drying” of fish or the tails of redfish is NOT allowed. All
parts of all fish should be placed on ice and maintained for freshness. Fish will only be accepted for the
weigh-in if they are in a cooler bag, ice chest or other appropriate container that also contains ice. The entire
fish should be in the container. Do not appear at the weigh-in with fish that are on a stringer and are not
iced in a proper container or bag.
Salt may not be added to fish bags.
Only authorized persons will be allowed in the weigh-in station. Please try not to distract these volunteers
while they go about their tasks. Weighed / Entered fish may or may not be returned as per the weigh-
master’s discretion. The largest fish will be determined by weight. In the event of a tie, the first contestant to
have signed in will be considered the winner while the other contestant will be dropped to the next position.
Fish will be bent, loosened and manipulated before being measured with a pinched tail. Tails of trout and
flounder will be manually pinched to obtain maximum length as per the instructions found in the Louisiana
Fishing Regulations, 2025 pamphlet. Tails of larger redfish will be pinched using the standardized tool
attached to the measuring board, which, if needed and used, will be moved to the 25.5” line to pinch the tail
of larger redfish.
DRONE/UAS USAGE: Tournament participants are not allowed to use unmanned aircraft systems (drones)
during the tournament day to scout for fish, spy on other anglers, or any other means that may be viewed as
benefiting/advancing their fishing.
WEATHER: Tournament days may be shortened or canceled due to unsafe weather or water conditions. The
decision to shorten or to cancel will be left totally to the discretion of the Tournament Director. A 4-hour
period shall constitute a day of fishing.
REFUND POLICY: There will be no refunds available. Should the event date change for any reason, an
announcement will be made, and a refund grace period allowed for anglers who cannot make the new date.

CPS TOURNAMENT RULES (CATCH, PHOTO, SUBMIT)

TourneyX PRO is the official app and tournament scoring method for Bayou Coast CPS Tournaments. It is available
for Apple iOS and Android operating system smartphones. Make sure to download the PRO version as it is the only one
that works for BCKFC tournaments. For more information on how to use the TourneyX PRO app you can visit TourneyX Help, or
TourneyX Youtube for video tutorials.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A three-digit tournament identifier code will be released in the TourneyX Pro the night before the tournament.
This identifier must be clearly visible in every photo (e.g., written on a card or on your hand).

Photos of fish must be submitted within the stated submission window for this tournament.

Pictures will only be accepted if they include original metadata which contains GPS coordinates. Bayou
Coast retains all metadata information which may be reviewed by a single designated tournament director in the
event of a valid location or time-based protest as spelled out later in the rules.

The fish must be on a tournament approved measuring device, the body centered between the rails, and
alive.

Caught fish must be photographed before your next cast. This means an angler must bring a caught fish into their
kayak and take a picture before they begin fishing again. A fish that the tournament directors suspect is dead due
to being out of the water too long may be rejected. Examples of issues that may result in a disqualified fish are
faded color, no slime coat, shriveled tail, etc.

Record all lengths in 0.25" increments. If the tail does not clearly reach a measurement line, round down to
the nearest quarter-inch.

For any species with a stated maximum length, the longest acceptable submission is 0.25" less than that
maximum. For example, if the maximum length is 30", the longest fish you may submit is 29.75". Any fish touching
or crossing the maximum length line will not be accepted.

You can submit as many fish as you would like. TourneyX will automatically cull them for you. However, you
can only submit one picture of each fish to be judged. In the event that a submitted fish picture is denied, you
can request that the judge review another picture(s) of the same fish. It is smart to take multiple pictures of
each fish before releasing to make sure you get a good one.

ALLOWED MEASURING BOARDS
These measuring boards must be clean, with all lines and numbers clearly visible so judges can accurately verify
your
submissions.

Ketch Boards. All models are accepted, except the hinged 48” model.

Check-It Stik Kayak Elite Series. This specific model only will be accepted.

YakAttack Leaderboard

PHOTO REQUIREMENTS

The 3-digit tournament identifier code must be visible in the picture (written on a card or the back of your
hand).

The fish must be facing to the left with the tail to the right and the belly of the fish facing the angler.

The nose must be pressed up against the post of the measuring device. Please ensure that shadows do not obscure
the nose and post. If the judge cannot see that the nose is clearly up against the post, the angler will face a
0.5” length deduction.

If the tail is not obviously touching or crossing a measurement line, it will be rounded down to the next lower
quarter inch length.

There may be no lures or fish retaining tools in the fish’s mouth for the picture or the angler will face a
0.5” length reduction.

No other tools, devices, materials etc. may be touching or under the fish for any reason.

The mouth, eye, and edge of tail must be visible for the picture to be accepted, with the tail flat on the
measuring board. The angler is not allowed to place their hand or fingers under the gill plate of the fish.

The top lobe of the tail of your fish must be inside the boundaries of your board. If using a Check It-Stik,
the top lobe must be over the lines on the flat (bottom) portion of your board, and not over the slanted lip on
the sides. Judges will make their best attempt to score the length of the fish in relation to visible numbers
and lines which the tail clearly crosses.

The picture must be taken overhead and not at an extreme angle.

If the judge deems your picture to be inauthentic or otherwise too problematic to accept, it will be rejected.
Appeals may be made to the tournament directors as described below in the protests section. All submissions are
subject to final review by the tournament director. If the tournament director overrules the judge on a
submission, the angler will have the opportunity to submit another picture of the same fish or a replacement
fish before the standings are finalized.

FISH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

REDFISH
Anglers may not manipulate oversized redfish to appear shorter than the stated tournament maximum. Any
attempt, or suspicion of attempt, to do so will result is disqualification of the fish and potentially the
angler.

SPECKLED TROUT / FLOUNDER
The mouth must be entirely closed with the nose pressed firmly against the post of an angler’s measuring
board. If the mouth is open at all, a 0.5” length deduction will be taken.

POST TOURNAMENT DATA DELETION
Following completion of the tournament and awards ceremony, anglers may make a formal written request that their
entry is deleted from TourneyX. Doing so will delete all of the fish pictures, metadata, GPS, and statistics from
the angler’s TourneyX account. This means these pictures/metadata/GPS will no longer be accessible to anyone
including the angler or tournament directors. This is a permanent irreversible decision. Making this request will
not disqualify the angler from qualifying for awards in this tournament.

ANGLER OF THE YEAR / CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFICATION

Eligibility
In order to earn Angler of the Year (AOY) points or a Championship Qualification,
an angler must be a paid BCKFC member in good standing at the time of the tournament in which
those points or qualifications are earned. To be eligible to receive an invitation to the
2026 BCKFC Championship, an angler must also have entered at least
three (3) 2026 Championship Series tournaments or have purchased the
2026 BCKFC Season Pass.

Championship Qualification
The top 10% of anglers on the leaderboard for each Championship Series tournament earn a
Championship Qualification toward the 2026 BCKFC Championship.
At the conclusion of the five Championship Series tournaments, anglers who earned a Championship Qualification
through
tournament placement and meet the eligibility requirements will be invited to compete in the Championship.
If fewer than 45 anglers qualify through tournament placement, the remaining invitations will be
issued based on AOY standings among anglers who meet the eligibility requirements. Forty five anglers will be
invited to compete in the Championship.

AOY Points
AOY points are awarded at each qualifying tournament. 1st place receives 300 points, 2nd place receives
299 points, 3rd place receives 298 points, and points continue downward by one for each subsequent
finishing position. Eligible anglers who weigh in at least one legal fish will receive AOY points based on their
finishing
position. When applicable, eligible anglers who do not weigh in a legal fish (“skunked”) but who check in at the
weigh-in
will receive 100 AOY points.

AOY Standings
AOY standings used to determine Championship invitations will be calculated using each angler’s
best three (3) finishes from the five Championship Series tournaments. Final AOY standings, which include the BCKFC
Championship, will be calculated using each angler’s best four (4) finishes from the six total
events consisting of the five Championship Series tournaments plus the Championship.

AOY Tiebreaker
In the event of a tie in the final AOY standings, the tie will be broken based on
placement in the 2026 BCKFC Championship, with the higher finishing angler receiving the higher AOY
ranking.

WADE FISHING AND BANK FISHING: Contestants may wade fish or fish off the bank only if they
remain within 100 feet of their launched paddle craft. “Launched” means the
kayak is partly in fishable water (not in a parking lot puddle).
PROHIBITED ACTIONS: Mother-shipping, tethering, holding, or any transportation coordination with
non-competitors is strictly prohibited.
KAYAK INSPECTION: By entering the tournament, contestants agree to have their kayak inspected by BCKFC
personnel.

WATER COURTESY / ENCROACHMENT
Do your best not to disturb someone else’s fishing area, by encroachment, or
noise. An angler officially establishes his/her fishing area by having their craft anchored in place. If you
come upon an angler in an egress area, as quietly as you can, ask which side he or she would like you to cross
at. A good rule of thumb is that if you can both cast to a common point you’re too close. Respect others and use
the golden rule.

PROTESTS
All protests must be written and submitted electronically (text/email/direct
message from social media) within 30 minutes of the conclusion of “weigh in” to be considered. The tournament
director is the final authority on deciding the merits/outcomes of a protest. All anglers are encouraged
to report cheating.

CHEATING/FOUL PLAY
All anglers are encouraged to report violations. Cheating and contest fraud in a
fishing tournament is a felony crime in the state of Louisiana. Bayou Coast will enforce a zero-tolerance policy
with regard to cheating.

POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION
All participants, by signing up, agree to take a polygraph examination if
requested. Any participant can be asked to submit to a polygraph examination. No explanation shall be required
from the hosts of the tournament as to why a specific individual is asked to submit to a polygraph examination.
Refusal to submit to or failure of a polygraph examination will result in disqualification from the tournament,
forfeiture of any and all prizes / awards, and potential banishment from all future Bayou Coast events. No
refunds for tournament fees will be granted for person(s) refusing to submit to or failing a polygraph
examination.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE
A waiver, release of liability, and covenant not to sue are part of the entry
form. It is required that all contestants take responsibility for themselves while participating in event
activities. Please DO NOT let your competitive nature push you into doing dangerous things. You must agree to
the Waiver to participate. The Waiver is in the online registration page linked below. BE SAFE, BE SEEN, AND
WEAR YOUR PFD!

COMMUNICATION
No electronic communication with non-registered anglers during tournament hours,
unless not fishing related (your spouse/kids, work, etc). No pre-arranged coordination with any non-registered
anglers on the water for the purpose of scouting or locating fish during tournament hours.

PFD REQUIREMENT
You must properly wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD while afloat in your
watercraft during all Bayou Coast events. PFD’s must be worn outside of the angler’s outermost layer of
clothing. Failure to comply with this rule during competition could result in disqualification from the
tournament. Disqualification will be determined by the Tournament Director based on investigation of any
specific incident. PFD’s may only be briefly removed on the water for the purpose of adding, removing, or
adjusting clothing while an angler is stationary and not actively fishing.

RULE CHANGES
Interpretation of rules is exclusively left to the Tournament Directors and Bayou
Coast Officers. The decisions of this group are final in all matters and are not subject to appeal. Please do
your part in not providing a reason to place them in a position where they must make rulings, decisions, etc.
Keep it simple, keep it clean, and when in doubt…do the right thing.

CATCH REQUIREMENTS
Each participant must catch their own fish. You may not give fish to another
participant. You may not net a fish for another (adult) participant. Youths should hook and retrieve their own
catch. A parent/guardian may net fish for them and may handle the fish once it is netted (including pictures in
CPS events). In CPS events, anglers (participant or not) may not aid in taking pictures of fish in any
way.

DRONE/UAS USAGE
Tournament participants are not allowed to use unmanned aircraft systems (drones)
during the tournament day(or official practice days) to scout for fish, spy on other anglers, or any other means
that may be viewed as benefiting/advancing their fishing.

WEATHER
Tournament days may be shortened or canceled due to unsafe weather or water
conditions. The decision to shorten or to cancel will be left totally to the discretion of the Tournament
Director. A 4-hour period shall constitute a day of fishing.

REFUND POLICY
There will be no refunds available. Should the event date change for any reason,
an announcement will be made, and a refund grace period allowed for anglers who cannot make the new date.

Bayou Coast is running Trout Challenge 2026 as a Catch, Photo, Submit (CPS) tournament through the TourneyX PRO app. Anglers can choose to fish anywhere down the LA-1 corridor, Bason’s to Grand Isle. Entry into the tournament will be $35 per angler or via the BCKFC Season Pass. Calcuttas are optional additional entry. There is no requirement for anglers to “release” their fish back into the water. However, anglers are required to follow the strictest interpretation of Louisiana law regarding the keeping of fish as it relates to size and creel limit for all species.
ALLOWED BAIT / TACKLE
Only artificial baits are allowed. Commercially produced scented baits and attractants are also allowed.
OBJECTIVE
Winner Determination
The angler with the highest total cumulative length is the winner. Number of fish submitted is irrelevant. In the event of a tie, the angler with the longest fish will place higher. If the first fish does not break the tie, the angler’s next largest fish will be used, and so on down their list of submissions. In the event that the anglers are still tied, then the angler who submitted their final fish first that is used in their stringer will win.

Limit: 5
Minimum length: No Minimum
Maximum limit: No Maximum

CPS TOURNAMENT RULES (CATCH, PHOTO, SUBMIT)

TourneyX PRO is the official app and tournament scoring method for Bayou Coast CPS Tournaments. It is available
for Apple iOS and Android operating system smartphones. Make sure to download the PRO version as it is the only one
that works for BCKFC tournaments. For more information on how to use the TourneyX PRO app you can visit TourneyX Help, or
TourneyX Youtube for video tutorials.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A three-digit tournament identifier code will be released in the TourneyX Pro the night before the tournament.
This identifier must be clearly visible in every photo (e.g., written on a card or on your hand).

Photos of fish must be submitted within the stated submission window for this tournament.

Pictures will only be accepted if they include original metadata which contains GPS coordinates. Bayou
Coast retains all metadata information which may be reviewed by a single designated tournament director in the
event of a valid location or time-based protest as spelled out later in the rules.

The fish must be on a tournament approved measuring device, the body centered between the rails, and
alive.

Caught fish must be photographed before your next cast. This means an angler must bring a caught fish into their
kayak and take a picture before they begin fishing again. A fish that the tournament directors suspect is dead due
to being out of the water too long may be rejected. Examples of issues that may result in a disqualified fish are
faded color, no slime coat, shriveled tail, etc.

Record all lengths in 0.25" increments. If the tail does not clearly reach a measurement line, round down to
the nearest quarter-inch.

For any species with a stated maximum length, the longest acceptable submission is 0.25" less than that
maximum. For example, if the maximum length is 30", the longest fish you may submit is 29.75". Any fish touching
or crossing the maximum length line will not be accepted.

You can submit as many fish as you would like. TourneyX will automatically cull them for you. However, you
can only submit one picture of each fish to be judged. In the event that a submitted fish picture is denied, you
can request that the judge review another picture(s) of the same fish. It is smart to take multiple pictures of
each fish before releasing to make sure you get a good one.

ALLOWED MEASURING BOARDS
These measuring boards must be clean, with all lines and numbers clearly visible so judges can accurately verify
your
submissions.

Ketch Boards. All models are accepted, except the hinged 48” model.

Check-It Stik Kayak Elite Series. This specific model only will be accepted.

YakAttack Leaderboard

PHOTO REQUIREMENTS

The 3-digit tournament identifier code must be visible in the picture (written on a card or the back of your
hand).

The fish must be facing to the left with the tail to the right and the belly of the fish facing the angler.

The nose must be pressed up against the post of the measuring device. Please ensure that shadows do not obscure
the nose and post. If the judge cannot see that the nose is clearly up against the post, the angler will face a
0.5” length deduction.

If the tail is not obviously touching or crossing a measurement line, it will be rounded down to the next lower
quarter inch length.

There may be no lures or fish retaining tools in the fish’s mouth for the picture or the angler will face a
0.5” length reduction.

No other tools, devices, materials etc. may be touching or under the fish for any reason.

The mouth, eye, and edge of tail must be visible for the picture to be accepted, with the tail flat on the
measuring board. The angler is not allowed to place their hand or fingers under the gill plate of the fish.

The top lobe of the tail of your fish must be inside the boundaries of your board. If using a Check It-Stik,
the top lobe must be over the lines on the flat (bottom) portion of your board, and not over the slanted lip on
the sides. Judges will make their best attempt to score the length of the fish in relation to visible numbers
and lines which the tail clearly crosses.

The picture must be taken overhead and not at an extreme angle.

If the judge deems your picture to be inauthentic or otherwise too problematic to accept, it will be rejected.
Appeals may be made to the tournament directors as described below in the protests section. All submissions are
subject to final review by the tournament director. If the tournament director overrules the judge on a
submission, the angler will have the opportunity to submit another picture of the same fish or a replacement
fish before the standings are finalized.

FISH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

REDFISH
Anglers may not manipulate oversized redfish to appear shorter than the stated tournament maximum. Any
attempt, or suspicion of attempt, to do so will result is disqualification of the fish and potentially the
angler.

SPECKLED TROUT / FLOUNDER
The mouth must be entirely closed with the nose pressed firmly against the post of an angler’s measuring
board. If the mouth is open at all, a 0.5” length deduction will be taken.

POST TOURNAMENT DATA DELETION
Following completion of the tournament and awards ceremony, anglers may make a formal written request that their
entry is deleted from TourneyX. Doing so will delete all of the fish pictures, metadata, GPS, and statistics from
the angler’s TourneyX account. This means these pictures/metadata/GPS will no longer be accessible to anyone
including the angler or tournament directors. This is a permanent irreversible decision. Making this request will
not disqualify the angler from qualifying for awards in this tournament.

ANGLER OF THE YEAR / CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFICATION

Eligibility
In order to earn Angler of the Year (AOY) points or a Championship Qualification,
an angler must be a paid BCKFC member in good standing at the time of the tournament in which
those points or qualifications are earned. To be eligible to receive an invitation to the
2026 BCKFC Championship, an angler must also have entered at least
three (3) 2026 Championship Series tournaments or have purchased the
2026 BCKFC Season Pass.

Championship Qualification
The top 10% of anglers on the leaderboard for each Championship Series tournament earn a
Championship Qualification toward the 2026 BCKFC Championship.
At the conclusion of the five Championship Series tournaments, anglers who earned a Championship Qualification
through
tournament placement and meet the eligibility requirements will be invited to compete in the Championship.
If fewer than 45 anglers qualify through tournament placement, the remaining invitations will be
issued based on AOY standings among anglers who meet the eligibility requirements. Forty five anglers will be
invited to compete in the Championship.

AOY Points
AOY points are awarded at each qualifying tournament. 1st place receives 300 points, 2nd place receives
299 points, 3rd place receives 298 points, and points continue downward by one for each subsequent
finishing position. Eligible anglers who weigh in at least one legal fish will receive AOY points based on their
finishing
position. When applicable, eligible anglers who do not weigh in a legal fish (“skunked”) but who check in at the
weigh-in
will receive 100 AOY points.

AOY Standings
AOY standings used to determine Championship invitations will be calculated using each angler’s
best three (3) finishes from the five Championship Series tournaments. Final AOY standings, which include the BCKFC
Championship, will be calculated using each angler’s best four (4) finishes from the six total
events consisting of the five Championship Series tournaments plus the Championship.

AOY Tiebreaker
In the event of a tie in the final AOY standings, the tie will be broken based on
placement in the 2026 BCKFC Championship, with the higher finishing angler receiving the higher AOY
ranking.
