SAFETY Safe boating conduct must be observed at all times. Each competitor is required to wear a Coast Guard approved life vest, securely fastened, at all times while the boat is being propelled by the combustion engine. Furthermore a kill switch must be fastened to the driver anytime the combustion engine is propelling the boat. Failure to do so is grounds for disqualification of the offending team's catch. Running lights must be operational and turned on at the blast-off of each tournament. Each competitor's boat must be equipped with a livewell system capable of keeping a tournament limit of bass alive. Any boat equipped with a motor that exceeds the horse power rating of the boat according to the manufacturer is prohibited from being used. All AUXILIARY gas tanks and BLADDER tanks that are not installed by the boat manufacturer are prohibited. Additional gas tanks that are factory options and installed by a manufacturer's authorized dealer are legal. Boats that do not have factory-installed gas tanks are restricted to a maximum of 18 gallons of gasoline in tanks that meet U.S. Coast Guard regulations. Gas tanks must be properly secured or strapped in a boat. 7. SPORTSMANSHIP Each contestant is expected to follow high standards of sportsmanship, courtesy, and conservation. NO TEAM MAY FISH WITHIN 50 YARDS OF ANY OTHER BOAT WHICH IS ANCHORED WITH THE TROLLING MOTOR UP. No hole sitting by a non-competitor to aid a tournament participant will be allowed. Violators will have their catch disqualified. 8. TACKLE AND FISHING METHODS Only artificial baits may be used. No live or cut bait is permitted (pork baits are permitted). All bass must be caught alive in a legal and sporting manner. No snagging. Each competitor may only use 1 rod at a time. No more than 1 line in the water at a time per angler. Trolling with the combustion motor is not permitted. No competitor may leave the boat to land or catch fish. 9. STATE AND FEDERAL GAME NS All participants are required to abide by all state and federal laws and game regulations. Any participant who consumes, or is under the influence of alcoholic beverages, stimulants or depressants during Live-well check, Sign-in, Tournament hours and weigh-in will be disqualified.(Prescribed medications taken per doctor's instructions are excluded.) 10. SCORING A limit of 5 bass (largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass) may be weighed in. Largemouth and Smallmouth – 15 inch minimum size limit EXCEPT one per angler may be 12 inches or more. Spotted Bass – 12 inch minimum size limit. Determined by jaw line. The limit is 5 bass per team. Lengths will be measured with mouth closed on a "Pro-Rule" ruler. A short fish brought to the scales will not be weighed, and will result in a 1 pound penalty. Dead fish will be penalized .25 (1/4) pound. The dead fish penalty will also apply to any fish weighed as a Big Fish if that fish is dead. All culling must be done at the time the 6th fish is caught; no team may continue fishing with more than the tournament limit in the livewell at any time during the tournament, with the exception of dead fish that is not included in their limit. All State and Local laws apply to this tournament. 11. EMERGENCIES Competitors shall remain with their partners in the boat at all times during the tournament, except in the event of sickness or brief excursions for "nature calling", severe storm or other such hazard. Competitors may leave the boat to dislodge it, but only to return the boat in the direction it came from. Leaving the boat to advance it is not permitted. (In falling water conditions, a team may leave the boat to advance it only to return from water they accessed without leaving the boat.) If for any reason either or both team members decide to leave the tournament waters early, both members shall bear full responsibility for notifying a tournament official. If one team member leaves the water early, he/she may not return and resume fishing. However, his/her partner may continue fishing for the remainder of the tournament hours. In case of a breakdown, one partner may return with fish by another tournament boat while the other partner is permitted to stay with the disabled boat. 12. WEIGH-IN PROCEDURES Weigh-in will be on a first come first serve basis. Once fish have been presented to a Tournament Official to be weighed-in all fish become the property of Fishing For Kids and no additional fish may be brought to the scales. Bags will be limited in order to avoid a bottleneck at the weigh-in tanks. Teams not weighing any fish are still required to check in with tournament officials in order to account for all teams. Once a team member has checked in or left the boat for the purpose of checking in, neither team member may fish or continue fishing. 15. LATE PENALTY Competitors who are not checked in by the check in deadline will be penalized at a rate of 1 pound per minute, up to 15 minutes at which time their catch will be disqualified. Late penalties will be deducted from "Big Fish" weight as well as total weight. 13. LIABILITY INSURANCE All Boaters must carry a minimum of $100,000 of liability insurance on any boat they might use during any Fishing For Kids Tournament. Failure to do so, or reporting of false information will result in disqualification of catch. Participants must include the company name and either the policy number or the name of the agent binding the coverage on the entry form for the tournament. 14. VIOLATION OF RULES AND DISQUALIFICATION Any team or team member found in violation of any rule will face disqualification of their team's catch. 15. RULES INTERPRETATION Interpretation of these rules will be left to the Tournament Director. Infractions of any rule may result in disqualification of catch.

Fishing For Kids would like to give a Special Thank You to Fishers Of Men National Tournament Trail for conducting the weigh-in.
At Fishing For Kids, we believe that by investing in young people, we are investing in the community as a whole. We are dedicated to the enrichment of our youth through sound, fundamental teaching that transcends all generations. By providing kids the opportunity to learn and grow in an exciting new environment, we will be ensuring their future.
At Fishing For Kids, we combine a love of the outdoors with a passion for reaching the young people in our community. Our organization operates for the sole purpose of providing
underprivileged, disabled and less fortunate youth the opportunity to enjoy our natural surroundings through a variety of outdoor activities and educational programs such as: Camping • Canoeing • Fishing • Hiking
By working with and through other non-profit organizations, we have committed ourselves to providing services to any youth who desire to participate, regardless of their ability.
We live in a society of instantaneous gratification. Fast food, drive-ins, minute meals, and tevo television have customed us to a fast-paced lifestyle where everything is on demand. But the outdoors are different; nature forces us to slow down. At Fishing For Kids, we want to help young people step out of their normal routines and the hustle and bustle of every day life, and experience the outdoors first-hand. Outdoor adventures teach values and create memories that leave a lasting imprint on a young person’s mind. At Fishing For Kids, our trained staff leads in an array of hands-on outdoor activities that help to develop character, build strong leadership skills, and empower young people to recognize their full potential.Our desire is to provide a setting where young people receive personal attention and feel comfortable in developing personal relationships with our staff and volunteers. Our goal is to offer new and exciting opportunities that will assist young people in establishing a solid foundation upon which to build for the future.
