- Junior prizes are subject to change by location to support local businesses in each tournament area

Winners can only win ONE place (but winners of the tournament are eligible to win raffle prizes if applicable). Anglers can enter multiple categories, however if an angler wins more than one category, the highest monetary valued place will be awarded.

Example: Bob places 3rd in the biggest pompano division and 1st in the Whiting Aggregate division, Bob would win the latter prize as it would hold a higher monetary value. Bob would drop off the list for the biggest Pompano division and the next largest weight would be on the leaderboard.
