*Record submissions for Australian Bass and Barramundi will not be accepted during their closed season<br />
** No further record submissions will be accepted for Marlin species or sailfish due to the danger to fishers and the fish themselves<br />
#If accidentally caught, this species should immediately and carefully be returned to the water.</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405924308437553445.post-49032386351744370862011-12-08T11:27:00.003+10:002020-09-06T15:48:51.479+10:00The RulesThe Noosa Yakkers’ Admins have agreed that the group will maintain a list of record fish captures. In discussions about maintaining this list it became clear that a set of rules about the list needed to be written and published. This document publishes the rules which are listed below (Note: Scroll down until the words "End of Rules" are encountered.) Last update: To rule (7) on 20Feb20.<br />
<br />
(1) Recorder<br />
<br />
One of the Admins will be appointed as the Recorder, with the duty of maintaining and publishing the List of Records in accordance with these rules. The Recorder will be the final decision-maker as to whether claims are accepted, except for claims by the Recorder himself which will be decided by the other Admins. Others may be appointed from time to time to back-up the Recorder.<br />
<br />
(2) Eligible claimants<br />
<br />
Only persons who have been formally welcomed into the Noosa Yakkers group in accordance with standard procedures will be eligible to lodge claims.<br />
<br />
(3) Eligible species<br />
<br />
Only those species included in the <a href="http://nyrecordfish.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/bass-bonito-yellowfin-maori-trout.html" target="_blank">record list on this blog</a> will be eligible and only the longest recorded specimen captured of each species will be published in the list. The Recorder will be the final decision-maker as to species identification relating to any claim made and may also add species to the list at his discretion.<br />
*Record submissions for Barramundi will not be accepted during the closed season Nov 1 - Feb 1<br />
** No further record submissions will be accepted for Marlin species and sailfish due to the danger to fishers and the fish themselves<br />
#If accidentally caught, this species should immediately and carefully be returned to the water.<br />
<br />
<span id="nyfishingzone"></span>
(4) Boundaries<br />
<br />
Only fish captured inside the boundaries of the map below will be eligible.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FsZd84ubPYQy7DjuUZRUmpyGs0wCXd226ofKQPF0opTaGgiJlbQVV33EJsn6ace-Xsq1567tWnhAJLCdixQUQKuG9Z6gHunKabNCL1AQxTh-Ui7mkp0DFjB9ZZ6sy0_41Dg-2oJ15aI/s1600/2b1fd2b6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="993" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FsZd84ubPYQy7DjuUZRUmpyGs0wCXd226ofKQPF0opTaGgiJlbQVV33EJsn6ace-Xsq1567tWnhAJLCdixQUQKuG9Z6gHunKabNCL1AQxTh-Ui7mkp0DFjB9ZZ6sy0_41Dg-2oJ15aI/s1600/2b1fd2b6.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
(5) Start date<br />
<br />
The List will start from 17 December 2011.<br />
<br />
(6) Measurement method<br />
<br />
Length of the fish, in centimetres, will be the only criterion on which records are established. The length will be measured from the front of the snout, beak or bill to the tip of the furthest point of the tail as shown in the image below and the accepted measurement will be to the nearest lower centimetre (i.e. no claims will be accepted for part centimetres such as xx.5cm). In order to appear on the list the claimed fish must be either the first of the species claimed or larger by at least one centimetre than the previous claim.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
(7) Claim method<br />
<br />
(a) A claim is to be supported by a digital image of the fish. Ideally, the claim should be based on a digital still image with the fish shown against a measure mat, supplemented by a ruler or tape measure in situations where the measure mat is not long enough. The image should be of sufficient resolution that the fish length can be clearly discerned and the species can be clearly identified. However, the Recorder may accept alternative measurement evidence at his discretion, and if accepted, the details of the measurement evidence will be recorded in writing and, if available, as a digital image, by the Recorder.<br />
<br />
(b) A Noosa Yakkers Facebook Group Post (not Comment) which contains all required Record Claim information is the easiest and preferred method of initiating a Record claim. Any member who makes such a Post or becomes aware that a fish capture featured in a Post may be eligible for a Record Claim should alert any Group Admin to ensure follow up.<br />
<br />
(c) A claim may also be submitted as an email (automatic link below) and must include the measurement image and the following information: name of claimant; a brief description of the capture and the fishing method used; the date, time and place of capture; names of any witnesses to the capture (if any) and witnesses to the measurement (if any); whether the fish was kept or released.<br />

<br />
(d) No fish which is less than the minimum length at which it can be legally taken in Queensland will be accepted as a valid claim. In cases where a fish claimed is larger than the maximum length at which it can be legally taken in Queensland the claimant must satisfy the Recorder that the fish was released unharmed after measurement was recorded.<br />
<br />
(e) No fish which is mutilated at the time of measurement will be accepted as a valid claim. However, a fish which has had its throat cut may be accepted at the discretion of the Recorder, in which case the Recorder may reduce the apparent length by an amount which is judged sufficient to compensate for any extra length which may result from that mutilation.<br />
<br />
(f) A claim must be made within 14 days after capture.<br />
<br />
(8) Capture method<br />
<br />
All fish for which claims are lodged must be fully captured by the claimant by line from a floating kayak (motor-powered craft not eligible) with no assistance from anyone else except that others may assist after the claimant gaffs, nets or grips the fish. The craft used must be launched from land and return to land from the capture point using paddle, pedal or wind as the means of propulsion.<br />
