Identifier

Identifiers can be printed off HERE. The code for the identifier will be released by 9PM the night before the tournament on Facebook & Tourney X. 

An identifier with no code, the wrong code, or codes in the wrong boxes will not be accepted.  If participating in multiple tournaments you can combine codes on a single identifier, but they must be correct and they must be in the appropriate box.

Another option for an Identifier (that is not mandatory) is a reusable option made out of durable aluminum by Blue Fox Gifts.  MAKE SURE YOU ORDER THE BUCKEYE KAYAK FISHING TRAIL IDENTIFIER.

Event Rules

When signing up for this event anglers declare that they understand and will follow the rules listed HERE.  Anglers who violate the rules could face penalties including disqualification.

*Not using an approved Ketch measuring board.

*No identifier or incorrect identifier codes (see identifier section on this page).

*Launching is only permitted from public access.

Additional Event Specific Rules

  • This event runs from 6AM until 10PM on June 24th.

  • It is the anglers responsibility to upload submissions by 10PM.  Eligible water may have spotty cellular service, so anglers must take responsibility and ensure they take steps to upload before 10PM.

  • Pre-fishing is eligible until dusk on June 23rd.

  • This tournament is black bass only (Largemouth, Smallmouth, Spotted).

  • Teams consist of two anglers.

  • The 5 longest bass between the anglers will be their final limit.

  • The most fish a single team member can submit for their team is 4.  This means to achieve a limit the other team member must submit at least 1 fish.

  • Anglers on the same team cannot fish different lakes at the same time.

  • Anglers are permitted to fish without their teammate if they arrive earlier or stay later.

  • 5 specific bodies of water are eligible for this event (see below).
