Jackpot Rules

  TOP TEN REASONS YOUR POT WINNING FISH COULD BE DISQUALIFIED: 

 We want you to win pots! We want you to win money! Don’t take the chance of being disqualified…

 ELKHORN TOP TEN LIST

10. You mishandle the fish (snagging, holding by the gills, kicking/throwing, leaving them to flop on the bank while you bait up and recast, etc.)

9. You try to weigh a fish that is obviously sick or dying

8. You are in the pot but your partner isn't or vice versa. It is always best to catch a fish on your own pole. However, there is no penalty if you step in because your partner is not nearby and YOU BOTH ARE IN THE SAME POTS. This prevents bothersome entanglements and allows more freedom to move about the lakes 

7. You started fishing too early or stayed too late and caught the fish before or after open hours

6. The fish was not on the scale by 6:00 pm at the end of the weekly jackpot or 9:00 pm at weekday closing time 

5. Your 12 hr. ticket expired

4. You didn’t pay for your extra pole/poles

3. You brought the fish in from the river, the reservoir, your own farm pond...etc. (you get the picture)

2. You let someone other than the bait house attendant or their designee weigh the fish

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON YOUR POT WINNING FISH COULD BE DISQUALIFIED -

1. YOU DIDN’T GET IN THE POT!! 

Remember, we've seen it all.                                                                    It is our duty to protect the integrity of the jackpots. Suspicious and dishonest activity surrounding the catching, weighing or claiming a pot winning fish will be scrutinized to the highest level and payout can and will be denied.
