• Angler’s are allowed to enter and weigh only one (1) fish per week.
• Fish must be at least 34 inches in length to weigh in.
• Fish must be weighed at a registered weigh station sanctioned by the tournament.


• By signing the weigh-in slip, the fisherman attests to all information given.

Sounds to me like once that fish hits the scale, you're stuck with that fish for the week.

The Derby rules are a little different--or were before the state went to 2 bass a day. You could enter the heaviest bluefish, albie or bonito of the day, but only one bass a day. In other words, if you went to the weigh-in with a 12 pound blue in the morning, you could enter a 14 pounder in the evening. Same with a bonito. However, when the bass limit was one per day, you could only weigh in one a day. A fish was considered to be "entered" when you presented it to the weighmaster and announced your badge number and division (boat or shore, or fly rod boat or shore). I haven't fished it since Mass went to the 2 bass bag, so I don't know how it works now. I'm assuming you can enter two a day, with only your heaviest counting.
