The Jack Prodanovich White Seabass Open 2013

[J-Rat]

Nice, the last one was great even though I personally was skunked!

Am I correct in assuming that entrants don't have to weigh in at a central spot, but can just send a photo?

Should fish be weighted gutted or whole?

What about second shots, help from buddies, etc?

This is great! I am glad to see you guys reviving the meet and keeping it going! I will bring a case of beer down to the shop for the organizers.

Let me know if I can help in any way. Very excited about the meet!

If your snorkel is out the surface shot is legal.

So says you, but I want to get a definitive reading on that before I send my money.

We are going to have official weigh in stations up and down the coast. We will be securing most of these places hopefully by the end of next week.

It is up to you if you want to weight it gutted or whole. But the winner would be the heaviest fish (gutted or whole).

No second shots from other divers.

We posted up most of the info we have available as of now on our calendar

we will also have a tourny website going up by Monday with all of the info and forms at www.thejack2013.com

That rules out most PV divers.

I hope I can participate in this event. Will there be a weigh in station on Catalina, or near San Pedro/long beach?

We will have a weigh in station in Catalina and long beach areas. We should have a list of them on our site by the beginning of next week.

By the way the site is up right now www.thejack2013.com

It is a work in progress, but most of the important stuff is up now. The sponsor page will start filling up the next couple of days.

A big thank you to Amadeo for helping out with the T-shirt art for the event!

Stay tuned next week as we start posting up some of the awesome raffle prizes.
