All qualifying fish will be video recorded via the FishDonkey app. This is a user-friendly, secure app. Team Captain and Partner will sign up in the app on their SMARTPHONE as a Team and pay at that time through the app, Cost is $10, once you receive your acknowledgment letter 1 week prior to tournament. Teams will still be boat checked prior to departure by Team Fishing Circuit.

When the Muskie is safely netted and the hooks have been removed,
Your partner will place the Bump Board in a safe and non-obstructed area
Start the recording NOW on the FishDonkey app
Partner then puts the fish on the Bump Board
Video nose to tail, slow and steady, so measurements can be identified by the tournament officials. Videos are 30 seconds, so if the video ends, simply click the video button again to begin recording. Repeat this process as necessary to capture the entire measuring process.
While the fish is still on the bump board, quickly take a still picture through the app. We need to see the full fish from nose to tail, full frame, as close as possible.
Now it is time for your partner to return the fish to the water. At this point, the Angler can lift the fish properly while you video the process of the angler holding and releasing their fish. This video will become very useful in television, please no PROFANITY!
Record the fish as it swims away. We know this process can take more than 30 seconds so please refer to restarting the video if it stops.
Type in the length of the fish
Once complete, you hit Submit, and then you are ready to go back to fishing!

This entire process MUST be followed completely, or the fish will not be included in the teams score. No EXCEPTIONS!
Teams have 30 seconds to record the video. If you run out of time, teams can save it and make a second video, 3rd video, and so on. All videos will need to be submitted for that fish to score. There is NO uploading of videos or pictures from your phone without the use of the app, everything is done through the app. You will be able to see your ranking throughout the day. Teams in area’s with bad service will be uploaded when they get in an area with better service.
Teams will register on the app called FishDonkey and when teams enter their first name in the app, they will actually add both of anglers last names. First name will be the Team Captains Last Name and the Las name, will be the partners Last Name. Example: Johnson/Anderson
A week prior to tournament, you will receive instructions as well. Those that qualify for the Classic Championship day will need to select that tournament that evening so you are ready to go in the morning.
