How the Tournament works

How the Tournament Works

All tournaments are measurement only first, unless otherwise specified. I will Email every participant clear instructions and a unique participant code that must be visible in every catch photo you turn in. You must be a member of Shane Flint Outdoors YouTube Channel to participate in these tournaments.


You will need a bumpboard to measure your fish and a smartphone to take a picture of your catch (see the photo below)


You measure your fish mouth closed against the bump board, then take a photo of the entire fish length clearly visible. The length measurement is the number that the fish tail is on or just past, we use the closest ¼ inch.


Once your done fishing you can Email them back to me as the instructions will outline.


All species of Largemouth or Smallmouth bass are allowed.


You can fish from the bank, boat, canoe, Kayak, etc. You can fish from the bank, boat, canoe, Kayak, etc. All fish must be caught by the angler on artificial bait with terminal tackle (rod and reel). I maintain a tally of all catches and provide updates on tournament status on my YouTube channel. All fish must be caught in the outlined date and times in the instructions. You can use fish that you catch fishing in a local tournament during the same timeframe of our tournaments Cheating will lead to immediate disqualification .
