Think You've Got a Record-size Fish?

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Fish must be caught in New Jersey waters.
Saltwater species taken from a boat must have been caught from a boat which left from and returned to a New Jersey port during the same trip.
Fish must have been caught on sporting tackle, hooked and landed by entrant.
New Jersey state records are determined by weight alone. There are no line classes.
Fish must be weighed on a certified scale.
A clear photograph of the fish must be furnished for identification purposes. In the case of freshwater species, a yardstick must be placed next to fish to clearly show length.
Fish should be refrigerated to permit inspection by a biologist in cases of uncertain identification.

Catch a fish that may not be of record size but is of sufficient size and weight to have tested your skill and/or be of "bragging" size? Then enter your catch in the Division of Fish and Wildlife's Skillful Angler Awards Program.
