There will be two divisions, Flathead and Channel. Participants may enter their largest score for each of the species each league night.

Points:

Points will be awarded based upon length + girth of each fish. The top 5 of the 6 League nights will go toward final standings for each participant. So, if you miss a week or get skunked for some reason - just catch big fish every other week. Round your measurements to the nearest full inch. Girth is to be measured at the widest part of the fish.
