How to Enter a Fish

All photos must be taken through the FishDonkey app and measurement must be on a valid measuring board.
Fish should be recorded immediately and measurement noted by length.
All submissions must include at least two photographs: 1) A pic of you holding the fish 2) A pic of the fish on the measuring board.
Video is encouraged! Get social with other anglers by showing your healthy release video of the fish going back into the water. These healthy releases help protect our fisheries here in Maine for generations to come!
Close the fish’s mouth. The nose should touch the bump of the measuring board (the belly is facing you). The measurement photo needs to include the entire fish on the board.
If the fish tail is touching the graduation line on the board then that is the exact measurement. If the tail crosses the graduation line, round up ¼”.
All participants must have their fish submitted before the end of the tournament.
ALL ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 9 PM ON SEPTEMBER 30th!!

Measuring Boards

All measuring devices must be commercially made. You are required to have a board with a 90-degree bend which marks 0, and at least ¼” lines. No handmade measuring boards, stickers, or tape measures allowed. Sliding, retractable, or foldable measuring devices are allowed. If your measurement is not clearly readable in your submission photo, it may not be accepted.

FishDonkey in Poor Reception Areas? Don’t Worry!

The app will work without internet. Open the app before heading out to poorly covered areas. Tap on the name of the tourney. Once you see the button ‘Enter a Fish’, head out and fish away. Fish should be entered as normal in bad reception areas. Your Digital Livewell® (fish icon) will show you if there are fish waiting for an internet connection to get pushed into the leaderboard. When you get back to a well-connected area, open your Digital Livewell® and leave that screen open/active until all fish are “Received”. (If your pictures are missing from the leaderboard, this is what you need to do.) Until your pictures are received, do not delete or alter the photos on your phone, as the software will not accept your photos as originals.
