1. The Sportfishing Slam is open to all Missouri 4-H members. Although we encourage participation in the official Missouri 4-H Sportfishing project, we understand that not everyone is able to join Sportfishing due to a variety of reasons. This contest is for anyone that wants to stretch their skills and knowledge of fishing.
2. Participants must have a verifying parent, guardian, or 4-H volunteer with them at the time of the catch. Since this contest is outside of the Missouri 4-H Sportfishing project, the verifying parent, guardian, or 4-H volunteer also takes responsibility for safety and agree to this in the 4-H Online Registration. Sportfishing project members that want to participate in the Slam may use their certified leader if applicable.
3. Participants must follow all applicable state fishing regulations and practice good fishing ethics.
4. Members must take photos of their catches on an official measuring instrument (i.e., ruler or tape measure). Measurements should be shown in inches. Entries without photos will not be accepted. A catch may be used in more than one SLAM category."
5. All entries must contain a verifying signature by an accompanying adult/witness.
6. Entries should be made using the link provided in your 4-H Online Sportfishing SLAM event registration or by requesting a paper copy of the submission form.
7. All entries must be received or postmarked no later than June 1.
