1. The contest is based on the following points system: Yellowtail, white seabass, and halibut will each count for ONE point per pound. Points will be tracked and rounded to the first decimal (1/10th of the pound). For example, a 11 pounds 8 ounces fish (11.5 pounds) will get 11.5 points; 30 pounds 14 ounces fish (30.875 pounds) will count as 30.9 points.

One bonus point will be added to each submitted fish that is caught on an artificial lure.

Fish must be at least TEN pounds to be eligible for submission.

Fish caught during the Big Waters Edge/WhiteSeabass Tournament and Steve Moyer Memorial Tournament will be eligible for a one point bonus.

2. All fish must be hooked, fought, and landed from a kayak, by the submitting angler to be eligible for submission. Fish caught in Mexican waters (including the Sea of Cortez) or on mothership trips will be allowed, however kayaks may not be attached in any way to another vessel when the fish is hooked. THE USE OF MOTORIZED KAYAKS IS NOT ALLOWED.

4. To be eligible for WCW submission, angler must submit their fish the same day the fish was caught, or the latest by midnight (Pacific Time) the following day. For example: if the fish was caught on Tuesday, the fish must be submitted by midnight on Wednesday. The exceptions are mother-ship or Baja/other trips, where the fish must be submitted the same day or by midnight the following day upon return. LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

weight slip

I weighted my fish at dana landing and they said they dont have weight slips.
I did take photos of the scale and fish.
Is this good enough for WCW?
Thanks Paul
