i found the rules from last year. here they are.
here are the rules for the big fish pot. the voting ended up 7-4 in favor of the winner getting the whole pot. so yall at least glance over these rules so you will be aware of the expectations.
BIG FISH POT RULES
1. weigh in will be between 5pm and 6pm on friday and saturday nights. no fish will be weighed in after 6pm or at the cabins at supper.
2. to be eligible for each day, your money must be paid before that day, or prior arrangements must be made with dwyane (shadow).
3. the winning fish must be caught the same day as it is weighed in. fish do not need to be alive. there will be no penalty for weighing in a dead fish.
4. no fish with glassed over eyes will be weighed.
5. only one fish per entrant each day will be weighed by official scales.
6. in the case of a tie, the pot will be split between the winners.
7. polygraphs will be given to the winner each day. (not really!!)
8. all decisions made by the official weigh master will be final. dwyane is the official weigh master.
and like dwyane said, it makes his job so much easier if you pay with 2 5-spots instead of a 10 if you are fishing both days. dwyane is doing this and we wanna make his job as easy as it can be.
