Rules

 • 2-3 participants per team.
 • We count the total length of the 5 longest pikes in each team, minimum measurement 75cm.
 • All teams must be registered on fishy.nu. Via this website/app, all catch reporting will be handled.
 • Only reel fishing, spin fishing, jerk fishing and fly fishing is permitted. NO vertical, trolling, etc.
 • Sk. live donors are not allowed during the race day.
 • Results are based on length in cm and documentation takes place with photography against a measuring board. Commenced centimeters are rounded down. The measuring board must be placed flat and horizontal and the tail fin may be carefully adjusted with a finger but not pressed together as the fish can be damaged, the fish must be placed carefully on the measuring board and you must not pull the fish in its lengthwise direction. The fish may be held with one or, if necessary, two hands while measurement and documentation takes place, you may not hold one hand on the tail pole (results in a 2 cm deduction). When photographing, it must be clearly seen that the nose is against the edge (otherwise a 2 cm deduction is given) and that the length can be clearly determined.
 • As this is a C&R competition, the fish must be handled carefully and released as quickly as possible.

BE CAREFUL WHEN MEASURING AND PHOTOGRAPHING!

 • A fish may be counted once. If the same fish is caught twice, it may only be counted the first time.
 • In the event of a tie, we go for the team's longest fish.
 • Fishing in any water. A valid fishing license is required and the respective FvO's rules must be followed.
 • It is forbidden to fish in private waters, everyone must have the same conditions*.
 • All team members must fish in the same boat. So you must not split up and go between with the measuring board.
 • All competitors must continuously wear a life vest, overalls, flotation underwear or other flotation garment from the time the boat leaves port until the boat is back in port. Applicable sea rules and speed rules must always be followed.
 • MAX 60 teams + organizer and possible sponsor teams.
 • All members of each team must be present at the start (Jaktia Delsbo) for check-in. When checking out, the measuring board must be at our disposal no later than 18.00. Check-out can take place through an individual team member or through an agent for the team.
