Hey guys in addition to the tournament there we are also going to have a representive from Ocean Kayak with their new Big Game Kayak to demo. So if you have heard about this boat and wanted to check it out here's your chance. I can't wait to see it in person because from the pictures I have seen it looks like a boat that is perfectly set up to nail some big ones out of! Well I hope to see you all out there.

So Multi Species is heaviest combined weight off all fish caught correct?
Also for the bass is the culling..self culling or will we be allowed to weigh all fish caught..or only allowed to weigh in 5 fish?

[WookieWacker]

Th multi-species is the total weight of your best 5 fish. If your best five fish are 2 halibut and 3 calico then that is your multispecies weight. If you only catch bass then your best 5 bass will count toward your best fish fish for the multi-species division.

As far as culling goes. I will be on the water in a weigh kayak paddling around to competitors and weighing fish. You are welcome to weigh in as many fish as you would like and on paper I will figgure out what your best five fish were. That way you dont have to bring a scale with you to do on the water culling. Just have a livewell and I will come over and weigh your fish for ya.

If there are any more questions that anybody has please feel free to ask.
