-
Fish Scoring: This is a Catch and Release Tournament. Fish less than 15cm will not count towards anything. Each fish caught by an Angler will have to be measured by a tournament official who will fill out the Anglers Fish Card with the size (in centimeters) of the fish and ensure its release back into the water. Any Anglers who don’t release (un hook) fish and throw back in the lake and try to catch the same fish multiple times will be disqualified.
-
Fishing Locations: Bank fishing ONLY. There will be 6 sections at Parkcenter Pond with 1-2 tournament officials for each bank section. Anglers MUST NOT cast into folks using the lake for their own recreation and be respectful of other people using the park.

Most Fish Caught Purse Prizes: Cash Prizes for Adults and Children <18 years old who catch the most fish in the day. Cash Prizes listed below are minimum, but will grow with sponsorship and event attendance.

Tie Breakers for the Most Fish Caught: If there is a tie for the most fish caught, we will add up the top 3 biggest (by length) fish on anglers’ fish card to determine a winner
-
If there is still a tie, we'll measure all fish on their Angler Card, and the most centimeters worth of fish will win appropriate prize
-
If there is still a tie, Anglers will share the purse evenly (if 2 anglers tie for first, they will split the 1st and 2nd place purses evenly between them. If 2 people get 3rd place, they split the 3rd place prize evenly. 3+-way ties will split purse evenly as well and so on.

Biggest Fish of the Day Prize: Angler who catches the Biggest fish (in centimeters, not by weight) for the day will win a to be determined BIG Prize! (Last year was a Paddle Board worth $1500)

Tie Breakers for the Biggest Fish event: If there is a tie for Biggest Fish of the Day, we'll measure the next biggest fish on each Angler's fish card, add up total length until tie breaker is made. This process will continue until the winner is determined (if Angler runs out of caught fish on their card, that counts as 0cm measurement)
-
If there is still a tie, a coin toss may be used to determine a winner

ABOUT US
Boise Metro Rotary Club
We are committed to making the community and world a better place while having inordinate amounts of fun. The beauty of Rotary is that it's open to people of all cultures, ethnicities, genders and professions, and it's not affiliated with any political or religious organizations. Really.
1.2 million Rotarians in over 34,000 clubs globally practice the ideal of Service Above Self. We are white collar, blue collar, goody two-shoes, deviants, prudes, jokesters, stoics and everything in between, and it's ok because our goal is the same - we must be the good we wish to see in the world. Otherwise that world won't exist.
Proceeds from this event will benefit child-focused local nonprofits, including Everyday Leadership, JEMFriends, Rotary Youth Exchange and Idaho college scholarships.
