When you suspect you have a fish on your line which is large for its species and may be a record catch, do not allow another person to touch your line or tackle during the encounter. More than one person involved in subduing the fish may disqualify the catch (except for help in netting or gaffing). Get the fish to a certified or balance type scale (one legal for trade) as soon as possible. Such scales are found in stores, post offices, fisheries, medical facilities, industry, feed mills, and often in sport shops, tourism centers or resorts. To insure unquestionable accuracy, use a scale to which is affixed a seal bearing a number, inspector and date of check. Spring mechanism type scales are sometimes inaccurate, but may be used if they can later be verified for accuracy in case you are in a place where a certified scale is not available. Such spring scale check/verification documents would then be required to be submitted. Weigh your fish ONLY ONCE in the presence of two disinterested witnesses and get their full names and addresses. Measure girth, fork length and total length. Have your fish identified as to species by a professional fisheries person or taxonomist. If the fish is a suspected hybrid or a potential all-tackle record, have its species identified by a CERTIFIED fish biologist or taxonomist. Get such identifier’s full name, address and place of employment. All entries must be accompanied by a clear, broadside picture of the fish. Color is best. Do not open the fish. This may be required later in the presence of witnesses to verify weight if suspicion arises. Meanwhile, keep the catch cold-fresh or frozen until status is determines. A taxidermist can mount a fish that has been frozen. Save the first 25 feet or more of line next to the hook/bait to later send with your application for laboratory line test purpose. Wind line on notched cardboard to avoid kinks or tangles. For fly fishing records, save 25 inches or more of the tippet used, leaving the fly/hook attached. For rod/line/no reel, or ice fishing records, only heaviest of species is recognized, so a line sample need not be submitted.

Box 690, 10360 Hall of Fame Drive, Hayward, WI 54843; phone (715) 634-4440; fax (715) 634-4440. www.Freshwater-Fishing.org e-mail: [email protected] How We Qualify Records North American catches are qualified only by the Hall by direct application to the Hall. Foreign catches of species that also exist in North America are qualified by direct application to the Hall or by recognized foreign country committees whose rules coincide with those of the Hall. The Hall has "Board of Review" members around the world to help authenticate such catches and provide the necessary documentation to meet our stringent requirements. Foreign catches of species that exist only in those countries are accepted either by direct application to the Hall or the Hall will accept catches qualified by recognized foreign record committees. Records qualified by IGFA may be accepted as official Hall of Fame World Records after proper procedure which requires the filling out of Hall declaration forms and affidavits available free by request. Quarterly Update The Hall's quarterly publication the "Splash" updates all new records granted between issues. The ultimate records in force at time of spring publication are listed in the annual book of records. If you do not receive the "Splash," you may not be aware of the latest, current records. A Special Invitation To ... Line Class Recognition Policy Eligible line classes have been established for each fish species in accordance to the heaviest line usually used for a specific species. Thus, most smaller varieties such as panfish are classed to 12-lb. line recognition. Medium size species may run to 20 or 30 lb. classes. Larger species may have heavier lines used for their capture. Thus, line classes may be listed to 50-lb. line or even heavier for species such as the Sturgeons or the Alligator Gar or some large variety Salmon species. We provide the category called "UNLIMITED" for catches made on line beyond that listed for a species. Consideration for extended listing can be considered if demand dictates, specifically for the potentially larger species such as the "Sea-Run" Chinook, etc. Please note: The Fly Fishing Division is not listed for some species such as Sturgeon, Gar, Catfish and other bottom feeders not likely to be captured by regulation fly fishing. We will, however, list such records and methods if such entries are received. Dr. Gerald R. Bouck Oregon Homer Circle Florida Mike Conlon Illinois Bill Cullerton Illinois Gary Dollahon Oklahoma J.

READ THIS BEFORE SUBMITTING CATCH & RELEASE APPLICATION! This Hall of Fame program encourages “water release.” Fish should be released at the catch site as quickly as possible to minimize stress. Record released fish are recognized by length only and listed in the record book and quarterly updates by line class in their respective division. Include an accurate measurement of the fish. A clear full length photo. (Fish should always be held in a horizontal position to minimize stress.) One witness is required. The fish must be hooked and played by only one person and only that person should submit this application. Angler may be assisted in landing the fish. Angler species identification is accepted. Fish weighing is defined as stressful and will disqualify entrant. “Catch & Release” is largely an honor program and fish survival of high priority. *NOTE: All fractions in length dropped to even inches. Member applications processed without charge. Non-members, please submit a $20 processing fee with application.

Did you enclose line or tippet sample if applying for Div. #1 or Div. #2? Local Radio Call Letters ___________________________ _____________________________________________________ Name of Your Area Newspaper 3 Rules for Application for a Sport Caught World Fresh Water Hall of Fame Record and Guidelines is the use of a tip-up for ice fishing, whose catch may be a contender for only the “heaviest” in Ice Fishing, Division #4, and methods allowed in miscellaneous Division #5 for heaviest in that division. THE REEL: Power driven reels (motor/electric) are prohibited. DIVISION DIVISION DIVISION DIVISION DIVISION #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 - ROD/REEL FLY FISHING POLE/LINE/NO REEL ICE FISHING MISC. METHODS DEFINITIONS FOR ELIGIBILITY: Division #1–ROD/REEL The use of a fixed or revolving spool affixed to a fishing rod both which are carriers of line to which are affixed legal single or multiple hooks by which the fish is captured. All-Tackle (heaviest) and line classes recognized. Submit 25 feet or more of line sample used in the catch. Division #2–FLY FISHING The use of regulation fly fishing equipment cast to the prey in conventional fly fishing manner All-Tackle (heaviest) and line classes recognized. Submit 25 inches of tippet with fly/hook attached. Fly/hook returned on request. (Note: Hybrid equipment not allowed.) Division #3–POLE/LINE/NO REEL The use of a pole and line without a reel for retrieve purpose. (Ice fishing excluded, see Division #4.) Only heaviest catches recognized. No line sample needed. Division #4–ICE FISHING A fish captured through the ice by accepted legal ice fishing devices such as a pole/line, tip up and other varied legal devices. Only heaviest catches recognized. No line sample needed. Division #5–MISCELLANEOUS METHODS The legal capture of fish by methods other than defined in the first four divisions and only those species or methods listed by the Fishing Hall of Fame in its book of records. Currently, only the five heaviest Paddlefish catches are recognized in this division. No line sample needed. ELIGIBLE WATERS: Any world fresh water except private, club or fish hatchery waters or private ponds not accessible for angling by the general public. Fee waters and ponds for angling by permit to public allowed. Inquire. SPECIES RECOGNIZED FOR WORLD RECORDS ... MINIMUM WEIGHTS: Any sport caught fish species will be recognized that meets rules requirements. Species not currently listed because of no demand will be added if demand dictates. Fish catches less than one (1) pound will not be considered. Weights may be certified in lbs/ozs or metric. One (1) ounce graduations recognized for record purposes. Fractions discounted. LEGAL SEASON .. LEGAL CATCH: Fish must be taken legally during legal season and hours for the specific geographic location. THE CATCH: More than one person involved in subduing the fish may disqualify the catch (except for help in netting or gaffing.) THE ROD/POLE: Hall of Fame world line class or all tackle records are recognized only when a rod/pole (minimum 36” open water conventional angling; minimum 18” ice fishing; minimum 72” fly fishing lengths) to which a line and bait are attached is used. Hand lines, jig boards, spears, snag-hooks, trot lines, gill nets, set lines, or stub line carriers, etc., will not be considered. The only exception to the rod/pole regulation 4 THE BAIT: The word “bait” as used here is that portion of tackle which entices the fish to bite whether live, plug, lure, fly, etc. ALL TACKLE (HEAVIEST) CLASS: The heaviest fish caught of the species regardless of the line test used. Only rod/bait catches eligible. LINE CLASS CLASSIFICATION: The heaviest fish caught of the species on a line test or strength. The following line classes are recognized: DIVISION #1: 2 lb., 4 lb., 6 lb., 8 lb., 10 lb., 12 lb., 14 lb., 15 lb., 16 lb., 171b., 20 lb., 25 lb., 30 lb., 36 lb., 40 lb., 45 lb., 50 lb., 60 lb., 70 lb., 80 lb., 130 lb., and Unlimited DIVISION #2: Tippets 2 lb., 4 lb., 6 lb., 8 lb., 10 lb., 12 lb., 14 lb., 16 lb. ... up to 50 lb. and Unlimited for larger fish. A range of line classes have been determined for each listed species. Fish caught on line classes beyond the listed range for that species are placed in a record class defined as “Unlimited.” Example: Panfish may have a recognition class from 2 lb. test to 12 lb. test, while larger species class recognition may culminate in heavier maximum fine strengths. LINE TESTING PROCEDURE: DIVISION #1 - ROD/REEL: The first 25 feet or more of the line used in the catch MUST be submitted with the application for Division #1 - Rod/Reel. Five tests are made of each line to average breaking load. Example: A line may test stronger or weaker than its stated strength due to many variables. To accommodate this, parameters are used. Example: A six (6) lb. test line parameter is from 5.01 to 7.00. An average breaking point below would place that line in the 4 lb. class while an average breaking load above would place that line in the 8 lb. class, etc. Each qualifying applicant receives a detailed lab copy of his line’s test results. Our lab uses only certified line test equipment. Line tested wet strength. LINE TESTING PROCEDURE: DIVISION #2 - FLY FISHING: Submit tippet with fly/hook attached. Fly/hook will be returned on request. Because of the shortness of the tippet only a single break load test is possible. The .01 to .00 parameter for test is used as in Division #1. POLE/LINE/NO REEL ... ICE FISHING ... MISCELLANEOUS DIVISIONS: Do not submit line samples for these divisions. Only heaviest recognition, no line classes honored. WEIGH-IN ON LEGAL-FOR-TRADE SCALE: Weigh your potential record only once on a certified/balance-type scale legal for trade which carries a certification inspection and date or sliding weight and balance type scales. Do not use a spring-type scale unless it has been, or can be, certified for accuracy by quality or later proper authority. Certified scales are found in stores, post offices, feed mills, industry, etc. WITNESS TO WEIGHT AND CATCH: While witnesses to catch are desirable but not mandatory, two disinterested witnesses to weight are positively required. (The applicant cannot be a witness.) SPECIES IDENTIFICATION: A professional fisheries person MUST identify your catch as to species and attest to the correct identity by his declaration. If all-tackle record or hybrid, a taxonomist or DNR fish biologist is required. SEND IN LINE SAMPLE: Division #1 - Rod Reel–Submit at least the first 25 feet of line used in the catch wound on notched stiff cardboard to prevent tangles or kinks. Line tested wet strength. Do not use tape on line. Division #2 - Fly Fishing–Submit tippet (25 inches) or more with fly/hook attached. Fly/hook returned on request. Line tested wet strength. Do not use tape on fine. SEND IN PHOTOS: A good colored photo of the angler and the fish (taken broadside for further identification) MUST be submitted. This photo will ultimately be displayed in the Hall’s museum records gallery. Also, submit two (2) or more good black and white photos of you and the fish (broadside), for news and publicity purposes (not mandatory). Fish should predominate in all photos, not the angler. For small fish, waist shots are best. NOTARY PUBLIC ATTEST: All applications must be notarized as provided on the form. ONE RECORD PER ENVELOPE: Each record application must be submitted in its own envelope. THE APPLICATION: Do not submit unless complete. Please print information PLAINLY, especially your full name and correct address. You’re on your sportsman’s honor. Misrepresentation or falsifying an application with intent to defraud the program will disqualify the catch and create suspect of past or future catches. The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame reserves the sole right to grant or reject any record, past or future, for good reason which it has listed or established and its decision will be final. INCOMPLETE APPLICATION: Applications lacking the vital requirements as determined by the qualifier will be returned or rejected. APPLICANT’S AGREEMENT: QUALIFIER’S OPTIONS: In submitting this application, the applicant agrees to allow the Hall of Fame to use record photos and stated facts for publication as it sees fit. The qualifier reserves the right to suspect, review, investigate, reject, disqualify or accept any declaration of record submitted, or any record inadvertently granted. In cases of dispute, the Hall’s “Records Board of Review” shall be the final authority. In submitting application, the angler voluntarily submits to these options of the qualifier. YOU ARE NOW READY TO DO THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE: DO NOT OPEN FISH IF “ALL-TACKLE”: Before status is determined. This may later be required by a biologist to authenticate weight. TIME LIMITATION: Application must be received within 90 days of catch. Exceptions will be allowed for good reason only as determined by the qualifier. Properly documented dated records can be considered.

Plus, Miscellaneous Information ... State records are qualified by direct application to the respective state where the catch was made. With a few exceptions, the State Information Division, DNR or Fish and Game Commission is the processor of its state records. Contact such office or write to the Hall of Fame for the proper address. Requirements to qualify for a state record vary state by state. State awards are made in a single category for the heaviest of the species. Most state requirements, to establish a state record, are fairly stringent, but unfortunately, there are some exceptions. Some state record catches listed are larger than world recognized records. The reasons are that the angler may not have had sufficient documentation to meet world requirements or did not choose to apply for a world record. Usually the angler is unaware that a world program exists.The Hall encourages state departments to encourage the angler to follow world record establishment procedure and to include such information in their public information and awareness publicity. It is the goal of the Hall to eventually work with the states to standardize their record procedures which will benefit the entire angling fraternity.
