West Coast Whoppers 2010 Rules and Registration
Welcome to West Coast Whoppers
The year long, points based, big fish contest for SoCal kayak anglers targeting yellowtail, white seabass and halibut. The contest begins January 1st and ends on December 31st, 2010. Anglers may enter the contest at any time during the WCW season. Entry fee for 2010 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 Big Waters Edge/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 2010 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, your single highest point value fish is scored. 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.
