Membership is open at anytime during the tournament year and covers all regions. No more than two qualifying events may be fished entered by only one member of the same team. The first tournament for each couple must be fished together.

3. Tackle: Only artificial lures may be used, the only exception is pork rinds. Only one rod may be used at one time, though others may be rigged and ready in the boat, but each cast must be completed before another is made.

4. Fish Length/Limits: Each couple may weigh in five fish per day. Minimum length 14 inches (unless the lake length varies from the statewide), measured on a flat board, mouth closed. Only largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass will be weighed. No more than five fish can be brought to the scales. A sixth fish may be held in the boat temporarily for culling purposed only. There will be a (1) pound penalty for each short fish and the short fish will not be weighed.
