Big Striper Buy-In

This section of river contains striped bass. For this event only, there is a $10 optional buy-in on TourneyX for the biggest striper. Fish measurement rules follow the same KFNW Rules Standard with a few exceptions: It is possible to catch a fish longer than the standard Ketch board and Yak Attack Leaderboard. You may bring a longer board, if you have one. And for this optional buy-in ONLY, we will allow off-brand boards or tape measures. Tape measure should be laid on top of the fish from nose to tail. In the event of a tie, or two fish that are close in length but we can’t get an exact measurement, money will be split between those anglers.
