I have fished the Jamaica Bay Tourney. It is catch and release. The way it works is you take a digital photo next to the ruler supplied by the tournament commitee. Bluefish weren't measured, just photographed for obvious reasons and counted towards the "slam" catagory(bass ,blue and weakfish). As far as prizes go it is way more than bragging rights...last year a Hobie Adventure and two other kayaks were given away along with rods and reels and a myriad of other stuff. Your entry got you into the raffle where everyone had a chance to win the prizes. The high hooks were awarded special artwork prizes.
