Online Open Rules for Weighing in Fish
You can weight in your five best fish(different species) - i.e. the ones
closest to the SA record in percentage - if your exceeds the SA record then
weight that one in.
No sharks!
No Skates!
Only open season fish.
No illegal ones like brindle bass, natal wrasse, seventy four etc.
Fish must be taken in SA waters.
Weigh the your fish on an accurate scale - if you can provide proof of the
location of an assized massmeter(scale) that would be great! Weight to one
decimal of a kg - e.g. 1.8 kg. The fish must be fresh - not frozen.
Have a witness view the weighing - check that the scale is zeroed before the
fish is weighed.
If the fish does not appear on the SA record list then the biggest one wins for
that specie and its weight will be used to calculate the "record %".
You may upgrade - e.g. if you weigh in a 3 kg yellowtail on 13 Sept and you get
a 13 kg fish on 22 Sept then the small one falls away.
Take a clear digital pic of you with your gutted and gilled fish - i.e. guts and
gills out. Include proof of the date - hold a newspaper/clipping showing its
name & date clearly any day after 1 Sept 2008 but before the end of the month.
Magazines are issued early so they will not be OK.
Smile in the pic and have a sexy naked woman stand next to you - if she is
excluded from the pic or not judged sexy you may be disqualified.*
Last day to receive pics is 1 October unless you can provide evidence that the
fish was speared before that date.
Send pics to freedive@freedive.co.za
Please reduce the size of the pic - see

find out how. State you name!!
When I look at the 4cast it seem we will only be able to dive after about this
Saturday (6 Sept 2008). I think the westerlies will bring in warm clear water.
I will keep you posted at least once a week of fish being weighed.
