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: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/ Payment is required prior to your first caught fish that you submit. Paypal link will be up shortly Last edited by WCW Moderator; 03-26-2011 at 01:54 PM. |

Just donated.
My wife asked what the donation was for, told her it was part of a world wide initiative to help capture the dreaded Yellow Tailed Oompa-Loompa Tuna fish and its predecessor the Williy Wonka White Sea Bass. She said she was proud of me. ![]()

Come on guys---do it!

I'm proud of you, George, and you haven't even caught one yet (E for effort, though ![]() Seriously, though, I don't understand the lack of entrants this year. The entry fee is dirt cheap and everyone can use some incentive for more time on the water (great excuse for the wives and significant others ![]() A couple of great reasons to play: #1 It's loads of fun with a microscopic investment. You'd spend that in ten minutes at a bar and forget about it the next day, right? #2 While some play to win, it really doesn't matter where you place. Well, I digress, it will to whomever is next to you in the ratings. I don't care if you're 25th or 26th, if your friend catches a damn 10 lb Halibut, you watch---you'll be fuming! ![]() ![]() #3 In my professional opinion, the biggest reason of all to play is to become a better angler, of course. The more opportunities you get to fish, the more you should learn. Whether you want to learn more about catching Halibut, Yellowtail or White Sea Bass is up to you. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . My competitive days are a thing of the past, but If some how, some way, I can scrounge up twenty dollars in change---I might even donate to the Jim Day fund myself. Can I put my $20 on Sharon Kayak? If she gets a pedal kayak---watch out! ![]()

Some guy by the name of Mike Weber donated for me.
I told him I doubt I'll place, but he insisted. |

Gotta have a tape measure shot, and weight of the fish via scale. So you carry a hand held scale on-board and get a weight? But wouldn't that risk the fish's chances when release? Is there a safe way/place to do this? (lip, tail ....) Thx |

Not practical in all cases, but any of the 3 species hovering just over 10 pounds can be documented via catch and release. A tape along the side of the kayak and another person to photo is one way of getting the tape shot. Weighing on a quality boga would be an acceptable weight or subtract the weight of the game clip on a hand held digital scale.

WON WSB tourney clarification
If a competitor catches an eligible fishing during the WON White Sea Bass tourney this weekend, will they receive a 10 point bonus similar to the Hubbs/Moyer tourney?

The WON kayak division came into being long after this year's rules were drawn up, so there won't be any bonus points awarded for this.
