Sorry about the edits. Re reading the rules, looking at others submissions and how to determine length. One goal for the year was to record a 180 point trout for AOTY, but I messed up the first entry with the open mouth. Thinking his fish has a shot at getting approved at 24”.

Downgrade to 18". Fish in pictures did not appear to meet the 19.75" hash mark, so was downgraded to 19.5". Second downgrade was because fish had mouth open. Per the Posing Rule, those fish are subject to a 1.5" deduction. If you have additional pictures of the fish with the mouth completely closed, please contact AOTY committee or modify submission with new picture. -bmb |

Not sure if this one goes to the steelhead category or trout category? I heard if it goes to the ocean it’s a steelhead, if it never see’s the ocean, it’s a Trout. These are landlocked steelhead(trout). Is that our rule too?
Switch it if needed, please.
Caught with a chartreuse wiggle hootchie,
50 ft down north side of the dam.
Forgot the board at home , hope the tape is ok
Note: approved at 17” minus 1” for open mouth penalty. It counts as a trout. |

One of three that I got to the measuring board, but the only one that didn't flop off before I could take a photo (see net below board).
caught on new 3D printed lure, orange "seed"
Edit: Approved as is b/c of already submitted upgrade. Otherwise, would need to deduct 1". Remember to hold the mouth closed. |
