2024 Official Rules and Prize Structure

---

Sebago Lake Trout and Maine State Regulations Apply.  

Only Lake Trout (Togue) are eligible for prizes.

Unlimited fish under 26".  One per angler 26" or over.  

Fishing begins at 5am and you must be in line with your fish at the weigh station by 4pm.  At 4:01pm, a representative from Standish Fish & Game will enter the line.  No one who enters after the representative will be weighed in.

Each person in the boat must be registered.  The team must be registered to be eligible for team prizes. A team consists of all members on a single boat.

If you can not register online or at Jordan's Store, contact us at laketroutshootout@gmail.com for alternative arrangements.

Each fish is eligible for both individual and team prizes.  

Each person will enter the first weigh station with their heaviest fish (a pre-weigh station will be available).  

We will not weigh multiple fish to determine your heaviest fish.

There will be a leader-board at the first weigh station and will be updated real time.  

If you have a fish that makes the leaderboard, the fish must remain at the weigh station until the end of the tournament.  If your fish is "bumped" off the leaderboard, you can take the fish at that time.

At the second weigh station, we will weigh the team's lightest five fish. A team must enter five fish to be eligible for this prize. 

At the final weigh station we will count all of your fish for a total team tally (total number of fish, not weight). At this station you will receive a ticket for the fish pool drawing for each fish turned in. You must be present at the awards ceremony for the drawing to win the fish pool.

If you do not want to keep your fish, we will have a fish collection container.  The fish will be recycled into compost.

Tie-breakers:

In the event two (or more) prize winning fish weigh the same, the tie-breaker will be length.  In the unlikely event the two (or more) fish are also the same length, the prize will be split evenly. 

If two (or more) teams have exactly the same weight of their five lightest fish, the prize will be split evenly between the winning teams.

If two (or more) teams have exactly the same number of fish turned in, the prize will be split evenly between the winning teams.

Mike Doiron and Darcy Westberry, of the Standish Fish & Game Club will serve as mediators. 

All lake trout are subject to inspection.

For clarity:  Am angler is only eligible to win one of the individual prizes.  However, if that same individual's team also catches the lightest five fish and the most fish, that team CAN win both team prizes.
