Register fish and photograph fish

The pike must be photographed together with a measuring tool that makes it easy for the competition management to verify the indicated length. The entire measuring tool must be visible clearly and must not lie on top of the fish. Photograph the fish with the pike's head on the left in the picture. More below!

Registration via the fish app. NOTE new from 2020, the fish must be reported no later than one week after catch!

In order for a fish to be registered, it must be at least 75 cm. Measure the fish in whole centimeters. If it is, for example, 95.7, the declared length will be shortened downwards to 95 cm. Clarification Round down.

All fish MUST be photographed in such a way that it is clear that the snout is at zero and that the tail fin is clearly visible against the indicated length. You MUST use a measuring board with so-called STOP. Take many photos, always with the pike's head to the left of the picture. Also take a posing picture for use in the media.

We do not approve C&R mats with a printed measuring stick as a measuring tool. It is up to the competitor to confirm that the measuring tool used is correct. Unclear images are rejected, alternatively an appropriate deduction in cm is made. Controls of registered fish may take place several times during the competition and corrections may be made if the jury deems it appropriate.

When the competition management approves the catch, it is registered and displayed on the page. Changes to the rules may take place during the competition period if the organizers find reason for this. Good luck in this year's Swedish Pike Open!
