The tournament is a Photo and Release event, whereby no fish are required to be removed from the location they are caught. A photo is taken of the fish and then the fish can be released following responsible fishing guidelines encouraged by the Qld Fisheries's Survival Guide.[1] This is responsible fishing and as such is one of the leading fishing tournaments in Australia that is promoting sustainable and healthy fishing practices.
