SAFETY: Safety is paramount and anglers must recognize that; Fishing from an open boat in itself is inherently dangerous, and as a result American Bass Anglers seeks to limit those hazards with reasonable safety rules. a. Safe boat conduct and speed limits must be observed at all times by competitors. During official practice and competition, competitors must wear a US Coast Guard-approved chesttype life preserver and must be worn at all times while the combustion engine is in gear.

Tournament officials may delay, shorten, restrict tournament waters or cancel the start of an official tournament day because of bad weather or other factors that would endanger the safety of the competitors. c. ABA reserves the right to impose boat speed limits during any or all tournaments.

In the event of an emergency, competitors should call 911 immediately and then notify tournament officials. Competitors are allowed to leave the boat and seek safe shelter in bad weather when danger may be imminent, at which time all fishing must cease. 12. MEDIA COMMENTS, PUBLIC ATTACKS; The favorable public reputation of ABA as a sanctioning organization in the sport of fishing, the integrity of its officials, and the reputation of its media properties are valuable assets and tangible benefits for ABA. Accordingly, it is an obligation of competitors to refrain from comments to the news media that unreasonably attack or disparage the integrity of tournaments, tournament officials, sponsors, fellow members, fellow anglers or the ABA organization. Competitors are encouraged to express themselves and have the right to question rules officials. Responsible expressions of legitimate disagreement with ABA policies are encouraged as opposed to attacks upon the integrity of the rules or officials. However, public comments that an angler knows, or should reasonably know, will harm the reputation of ABA, ABA officials or sponsors shall be considered conduct unbecoming a professional and will result in disciplinary action. 13. TACKLE AND EQUIPMENT: Only artificial lures may be used. No live bait or prepared bait will be permitted during official practice and competition, with the exception of pork strips, rinds, etc. Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rigs are prohibited. Only one rod and reel combination may be used at one time. No fly rods or rods over 8 feet are allowed. Trolling as a method of fishing is prohibited. All bass must be caught live and in a conventional sporting manner. All angling must be done from the boat and anglers must stay on tournament waters during tournament hours. Anglers are not permitted to leave the boat to land a fish or leave the boat to gain access to secluded waters. Competitors must leave and return to official checkpoint by boat. Both competitors must remain in boat at all times except in case of dire emergency. In such an emergency, competitors may be removed from their boat to: 1) a boat operated by another competitor, 2) a rescue boat designated by the tournament director. MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN; In the event of a mechanical breakdown one or both anglers may board another competitors boat only and ride to the weigh-in with their catch (if one angler brings both catches to weigh-in, fish must be clearly marked). In the event boater is alone he may have another competitor only bring his catch to weigh-in. Mechanical Breakdown does not extend tournament time.

20 - ABA Definition of an Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig: An apparatus consisting of wire strands, rigging, harness, or other device which allows a fanned out presentation, allowing the attachment of multiple lures with or without hooks to a single line. This apparatus is not approved for use in any ABA event. Approved baits are; Twin arm spinner baits or buzz baits with a single hook. Trailer hooks or plastic trailers must be connected to the main hook of these lures. The head of the main stem may be hinged and only spinner blades can be connected to the arms. ABA officials have sole authority to determine whether a lure is considered a single lure as defined. 14. HORSEPOWER REGULATION: MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER FOR ALL OUTBOARD MOTORBOATS USED IN OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT PRACTICE AND IN TOURNAMENT COMPETITION WILL BE 250 HP. Horsepower cannot exceed the limitations set by the U.S. Coast Guard. It is required that all boats have a U.S. Coast Guard or Manufacturer s horsepower-rating plate attached to the boat by the manufacturer. The horsepower of the outboard engine must not exceed the rating specified on this plate nor the horsepower maximum set by American Bass Anglers. Each competitor agrees to submit, by their signature on the official entry form, the boat and outboard motor used in the tournament, to an inspection by factory-trained personnel, if there is any reason to suspect the horsepower is in excess of the rating. Changing or altering standard factory parts of your engine to increase the horsepower over the factory horsepower rating is forbidden, and will result in disqualification. Falsifying information on entry forms or altering the horsepower-rating numbers on the engine also would be cause for immediate disqualification from American Bass Anglers, Inc., tournaments. 15. BOAT AND MOTOR: ALL BOATS MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH SOME TYPE OF IGNITION STOP SWITCH. This ignition-kill device must be attached to the driver s body any time the combustion engine is in gear. Any time the combustion engine is operating and in gear, there must by a driver in the driver s seat in full control of the boat. Fishing boats less than 16 feet in length may not be used. No barges, cumbersome craft or boats without steering wheel will be permitted. Contestants may not use boats equipped with stick steering during official practice or during tournament hours. Each boat must also have a properly aerated or re-circulating live-well to maintain a live limit catch of bass by both contestants. Boaters are required to provide a back fishing seat for co-anglers. 16. BOAT OPERATION: Any competitor answering yes to the question: Will you enter as a boater? will be expected to make that boat available for the tournament. Partners must discuss sharing time for his/her selected waters prior to ooze-off. Each partner is entitled to an equal number of hours to fish his/ her selected waters during divisional and national qualifying events. Any contestant who, in the judgment of the tournament director, operates the boat in such a manner as to unfairly handicap their partner shall be disqualified. It is the responsibility of the non-boater to reimburse the boater in an amount mutually agreed. It is suggested that reimbursement be ½ of fuel cost to defray daily expenses (Based on current fuel prices and running time, cost could be from $30.00 to $50.00).

PERMITTED FISHING LOCATIONS: Tournament Director for each tournament shall establish Tournament waters at the tournament briefing and define any known OFF-LIMITS areas including locking from established tournament waters. Fishing on tournament waters is not permitted: within 50 yards of a marina gas pump.

Minimum length will be 12 inches (measured on a flat board) unless the prevailing state/lake rule is larger. In most cases the state s longest length limit will be used.
