If you think that you might have made a record catch,
there are a number of steps that the Fisheries Management Office
recommends that you follow.
- Do not clean or freeze the fish
- Keep the fish cool, preferably on ice.
- Weigh the fish as soon as possible on scales certified accurate
to the nearest ounce by the Georgia Department of Agriculture in the
presence of two witnesses who are over the age of 18 (witnesses must
provide names/addresses and telephone numbers and may not be members of
the anglers immediate family).
- Take the fish to a division Fisheries Management Office as soon
as possible and have it positively identified by a Fisheries Biologist
or Technician.
- Complete an application and submit with a clear side view photo
of the whole fish within 90 days of the catch.
