Big Rock Rules

7. QUALIFYING BLUE MARLIN - To be eligible for prize money the Blue Marlin must weigh at least four hundred pounds or measure at least one hundred and ten inches. In the event of a tie by weight, the marlin having the largest total measurement of girth plus length shall be declared the winner. Length shall be measured from the V-notch in the tail to the tip of the lower jaw. Further, all fish must adhere to State and Federal regulations to qualify for prizes in this tournament. In the event a Blue Marlin does not meet these qualifications, the fish will be disqualified, and the boat will be penalized four hundred pounds from the weight of the largest Blue Marlin weighed in by the boat during the week. In addition, a penalty of four hundred points will be taken away from the total of release points accumulated by said boat. No official weigh slip will be given for any disqualified fish. In the event a blue marlin is boated or gaffed, the fish shall be presented at the official weigh station, if not presented the 400 point penalties will incur. A fish is boated when it breaks the plane of the boat. Weigh Master has the right to refuse any fish.

The announcer said that they landed two blue marlins, but only boated one. They are expected to be at the scales between 9:30 and 10:00
