[matanaska]

Trout 19.75" × 8 = 158pts

[matanaska]

Flounder 16.75" × 10 = 167.50pts

[matanaska]

Lingcod 38" × 5.5pts = 209pts

Lingcod DQ not sufficient photos. AOTY Ruling

2. Photographs with a digital camera providing evidence of the fish size with total length(except Sturgeon and yellowtail and barracuda is Fork length as per DFG rules) of fish taken in the center of the fish in the first picture and then a close up of the tail section must be provided at a minimum. The fish should not be stretched, bent, or manipulated in any way to enhance the fish length. The fish should also be in as natural lay position, mouth must be closed and against the 0 or other even number, and whole fish visible in at least one of the photos. Measurements will be rounded down in 1/4" increments. If there is no picture provided with the whole fish against a measuring devise then the fish will be disqualified. 
We don't want to disqualify fish because the mouth is slightly open, but want the whole event to be fair so if you are unable to get the fish to keep it's mouth completely shut then there will be a 1/2 inch deduction if on the water. Which adds up quick. So get that mouth on your fish shut. If your taking pictures on shore  the fish mouth MUST be completely closed with no gap visible. That being said fish with a wide open mouth will still be disqualified. Decisions up to AOTY committee.

How is there not sufficient photos? The trough I use is 38" and is more official than those plastic junk hawg troughs.  My 38" Check-It stick is commonly used by state fish and game officers. http://www.checkitstik.com/c/pages/check-it-stik.php
