How to win Redfish & Trout Combined Category: The tournament is going to be a point system based on biggest redfish (photo, 1 inch = 1 point) and heaviest combined weight (1 pound = 2 points) of 2 trout, both trout must be above 15” and under 19”. If the trout length exceeds or touches the 19″ line it will be disqualified.
Example: If you catch a 30.5″ Redfish and properly document it via a photo/video on an approved tournament measuring device, that’s 30.5 points. If you catch two (2) trout, one (1) being 2lbs and the other being 3lbs, that’s a total of 5 pounds which equals 10 points (2 points per pound). Add redfish points with trout points for a total of 40.5 points, and that’s how the winner will be determined. Please see below another example;
25.75” Redfish = 25.75 points
4.9 pounds combined weight of 2 trout = 9.12 points
25.75 + 9.12= 34.87 total points
Tie breaker will be determined by the angler that weighed in first.
