SUMMER BASS TOURNAMENT TRAIL RULES

Signups for the tournament began 45 minutes before start time and will close 10 minutes before start time. If you will be late, please contact the Tournament Director to see if you can still participate. (Call or text Tim DeYoung 616-514-0979)

One or two adults per boat. A two-person team may have additional angler(s). if that person is 18 years old or younger (no more than one between the ages of 12-18. No limit on additional anglers ages 11 or younger.

There will be a 5 fish limit of bass, Largemouth or Smallmouth, whether you are fishing as a team or an individual.

Teams must cull down to their limit of 5 fish before returning to the official ramp site. Each fish must measure a minimum of 14 inches long (on a measuring board, with mouth closed and tail touching). The shortest fish in every bag will be measured by the tournament director, once the competitor's fish have been presented to the scales. A courtesy measuring board will be available that you are allowed to use before your turn to weigh in. (If A team presents more than 5 bass to the scales, they will be disqualified from that event. A dead fish will result in an 8 oz deduction from that team's total weight. If the team's big bass is dead, there will be an 8 oz deduction from their big bass and will still have an 8 oz deduction from their total weight. If a team weighs in a short fish, they will be penalized the weight of that fish plus two pounds.)

There is a one pound per minute late penalty for any team that is late to the designated weigh in site.

Total weight determines the winning team. If there is a tie for total weight, big bass is the tie breaker. If there is a tie for big bass, the total weight will be the tie breaker.

Participants in TTT's Outdoor Adventures events will be held to a very high standard of sportsmanship, courtesy, and fishing etiquette.

Subs are allowed. Subs can either buy a membership or purchase a $20 guest pass. If a sub fishes more than one tournament, he/she must purchase a membership. Subs are NOT allowed to fish the classic.

Points are awarded through participating and weight. The team with the most points at the end of the year will win the Angler of the Year. A teammate must fish at least four tournaments with you, to be awarded angler of the year.

TTT's Outdoor Adventures strongly recommends that you wear your life jacket and always have your kill switch attached when you are going fast.

All rulings will be addressed by Tim DeYoung and a group of anglers if necessary.
