| Each year the RI Division of Fish and Wildlife
recognizes anglers who have caught game fish of notable size. Awards
are presented to anglers for each species of game fish caught that meet
the minimum size requirements listed below. (Only one award will be
presented to an angler for each species per year.) To receive an award,
an angler must catch a qualifying fish by rod and reel, tie-up, or
handline by legal means in Rhode Island waters. To apply for an award,
an angler must bring his or her legally-caught fish to an official
weigh-in station (most bait and tackle shops and sporting goods stores)
where the fish will be weighed, measured, and identified. The weigh-in
station operator will then fill out a game fish award application and
send it to the Division of Fish and Wildlife where the application will
be processed. Certificates of award will be mailed to recipients each
January or February for fish caught during the previous year. To obtain
an application form, click here |
