3) The minimum qualifying size is 50cm.
4) Photos to be clear and show complete fish on a TLF ruler or straightened BASS tape – Irish Bass comp ruler or a standard steel DIY tape is fine. Anything unclear or dubious (ruler / tape not straight) may not be considered. Video may be accepted at the judges discretion.
5) The individual angler chooses his “nation” with his first post. You may not change your nation after this time
6) If you improve your fish subsequently to your first entry, add this to update the cumulative length of fish for your nation but you must declare this as a new entry.

You do not need to be resident or fishing in the boundaries of your home “Nation” to enter a fish. e.g. if you fish for Scotland and land a bass in Northern Spain whilst on holiday, this fish may be entered on behalf of Scotland, as long as it is measured and readable and all other rules have been adhered to

12) Lure and fly caught fish only may be entered
13) A catch report must accompany every fish entered and a link to report posted with entry
