Jackpot pages are always open for review. You know the exact amount of prize money in each pot when you enter.  Jug winners receive 50% of total. 

Only one entry into jackpot and jugs is required each week, no matter how many trips you make; saving $$ for returning customers! However, winners of any individual jug will be required to re-enter the set of jugs which included the winning weight.

To weigh and qualify for jackpot and jugs, fish must be caught during hours when the shack is open. (See hours on Home page)



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 (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. Someone without a valid permit stepped in and took control of your pole while you were away or otherwise preoccupied. Any paid fisherman may assist in this way if needed. This prevents bothersome entanglements and allows more freedom to move about the lakes 

7. You were intentionally snagging. There is no penalty if the fish is hooked somewhere other than the mouth if you got a run and were not trying to snag, even though the hook may be in the tail or dorsal fin, you legitimately caught the fish  

6. The fish was not on the scale by shack closing time 

5. Your ticket expired

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

3. You brought the fish in from the river, the reservoir, a farm pond, etc.

2. You let someone other than the attendant in the shack 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. Suspicous 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.
