WCW 2011 Rules and Registration

West Coast Whoppers 2011 Rules and Registration

Welcome to West Coast Whoppers


Big change this year is up to 3 fish will be counted in your monthly points. 2 of the same species can not be counted in 1 month, but 1 halibut, 1 white seabass and 1 yellowtail can, with a generous SLAM bonus for submitting all 3 species within 1 month.
You are responsible to know the rules!


WCW is the year long, points based, big fish contest for SoCal kayak anglers targeting yellowtail, white seabass and halibut.

The contest begins April 1st 2011 and ends on March 31st 2012. Anglers may enter the contest at any time during the WCW season.

Entry fee for 2011 is $25 with payouts for top 3 anglers


Rules:

1. All fish must be hooked, fought and landed from a kayak.

2. Fish must be at least TEN pounds to be eligible for submission. The contest is based on the following points system: Base points for a 10 pound fish are:

white seabass 10 points,
yellowtail 20 points, and
halibut 30 points.

Weight above this will count for ONE point per pound added to the base points. This is rounded down so 10.9 is still only 10 pounds. Example: a 20# halibut, 30# yt and 40# wsb will all be worth the same 40 points.

3. 5 bonus points will be added to each submitted fish that is caught on an artificial lure.

4. Fish caught during the Hubbs/WhiteSeabass Tournament and Steve Moyer Memorial Tournament will be eligible for a 10 point bonus.

5. Submissions will be made on the West Coast Whoppers 2011 message board for all contestants to see. Leaderboards will be updated timely and will be viewable by all competitors.

6.Competitors are allowed upgradeable submissions monthly with midnight of the last day of the month as a deadline. You can submit your best of 1 of each of the 3 species. Submitting all 3 species within a single month will be awarded an additional 50 points.

Submission requirements:

Each angler’s submission must be accompanied by one photo of the angler with the fish, preferably on the kayak.

In addition, for each fish submitted, the weight needs to be supported by photo of the fish on a measuring tape showing its total length in inches. The fish must be weighed on an accurate scale. Reported fish weight will be compared to length to verify accuracy. As an alternative, the angler may submit the fish with weight obtained from the certified fish weigh-in station - OEX or other certified weigh-in stations (Dana Landing, Fisherman's Landing, possibly your local tackle shop with certified scale). When submitting a fish with weight obtain from a certified scale, no tape shot picture is required.


Big Water’s Edge encourages the responsible management of our fisheries. The rules of this contest allow for catch and release
fishing. Please do not keep more than you can eat. For current size and bag limits please visit The California DFG website:
