Rules for measuring and documenting your fish
We hope, and expect, to see many submissions during the month of August. To help facilitate retrieving and entering data, we ask that you follow these easy guidelines to provide the best measurement and information for us to enter.
- Measurements must be from the front lip of the fish to the tip of the tail (please allow the tail to lay flat). Picture or video must show the entirety of the fish and full measurement.
- Measuring devices fixed to a board or hard surface may have the fish lay on top of the measuring device or above/below it.
-Soft tape measuring devices should be measured above or below the fish to the best of your ability. We ask that the entirety of the tape show in this picture or video, as the tape is not fixed to a flat smooth surface. We ask this to avoid the tape folding or sliding underneath the fish, giving an inaccurate measurement.
- Photos or videos should be taken from directly above the fish (approximately 2-3ft above). We understand fish refuse to stay still while you document them so do the best you are able.
- Please submit all fish using the links or buttons on this website with species and length (selected to the nearest 0.25") When submitting please use the same name and email for each entry you want to count.
Submit a Catch!
We recommend that you use an August Blues Tournament Ruler to measure your catch (see image above). The end of the Ruler includes a QR scan code that makes it easy to "Submit a Catch". Simply capture the QR scan code with your phone after you measured your catch and it will automatically take you to the entry form.
