Will anyone who paid the $10 fee in advance but did not register on the "old" leaderboard be considered a participant?
If you paid before the deadline you should still be able to register on the leaderboard. Have you tried?

Damn, I missed the sign up. Haven't been online much lately. Three month event and no late registration?
After some issues in the past it was decided not to continue with registrations after the start of the Big 4.

Carp on the fly are a blast. Where are you in Florida? Not many common carp but plenty of grass carp in the canals etc

I do appreciate (and agree with) the intent of this rule, but 24 hours is a little harsh. When traveling around, you often hit areas where proper Internet access (allowing to upload pictures) is hard to get. Some folks fishing big reservoirs for several days in a row (Dale Hollow comes to mind) may not have any access at all. Etc.
Maybe relax a bit this rule? I'd suggest to play a bit on 'should' vs 'must', e.g.
Captures SHOULD be reported within 48 hours of capture. They MUST be reported within one week of capture.
I think 5 or 7 days is reasonable. Phil is currently travelling back from the UK and we will review and confirm tomorrow.

Leaderboard – Spring Big 4 2019
As many of you know we’ve been working behind the scenes to develop an updated Leaderboard.
Unfortunately we are not able to get this new software implemented in time and will need to run with the existing leaderboard.
The old software is only limited by the size of the image / photo that can be uploaded and the number of uploads.
We are therefore asking everyone to please pay careful attention to the following instructions!
1. Please limit each image upload size to a maximum of 250Kb
Since most cell phone and camera digital images are MUCH bigger than this you will need to resize your image before uploading it.
How to re-size your image
Please, please please before you start make sure you have saved your original full-sized image as you don’t want to overwrite it with a smaller image!
Here are some options for resizing an image…
1. Use a program such as Image Resizer Link
2. Microsoft Photo Viewer. Open the image you want to resize and then right click on the image and select Resize. Make sure you save it with a different name to avoid over-writing the original!
3. Send the image to yourself as an email attachment (you can even do this from your phone). When you click send it should give you some options like this:
Once you get the email simply save the attachment with a new name (e.g. CAG Big 4 small.jpg) to avoid over-writing the original.
2. Only upload your 4 Biggest Fish.
Remember this is a Big 4 contest. There is no need to upload ALL of your captures!
Once you’ve uploaded your first 4 fish then simply replace your smallest fish with the latest bigger one.
3. How to Enter your Captures into the Leaderboard
Click Here to Log-In to the Leadboard
Then enter YOUR Email Address and Password and Click the Login Button
Now Click on Events
And then select: 2019 CAG Spring Big4
Now Select: Add Result
Then Enter your catch details: Weight, Location and then Upload your Photo which must be no bigger than 250Kb and then Click: Save Result.
** Remember your photo MUST clearly show: You as the Angler, Your Fish, Your Scales and the 2019 Spring Big 4 Logo **
If you have any difficulties then please email Willem with any questions: BIG4@joincag.com

Hi, I was wondering how I get on the leader board for the spring big 4. I already paid the entrance fee.? Also, where would I get the big 4 logo? Thank you.
The Leader Board software is being updated. If it is not ready in time for the start of the Big 4 we will ask anglers to post their catches in a separate thread on the 2019 Spring Big 4 Forum. We will keep you updated.
Check for updates here: http://www.carpanglersgroup.com/forum/index.php?/forum/403-2019-cag-spring-big4/

The Carp Anglers Group has always promoted the careful handling ad catch and release of Trophy sized carp.
However there is an abundance of small carp in many waters and taking an occasional fish for the table is not only part of the American heritage but unlikely to impact carp populations.
Fish under 8-10lb are safest to eat as larger fish are more likely to have accumulated toxins such as PCB's (some states recommend limiting consumption of fish to one meal a week and to avoided if pregnant etc).
Good luck with your fishing and please help us protect the bigger carp by releasing them unharmed.

Is there link to the logo and leaderboard?
The logo is posted immediately before the start of the Big 4.
The Leader Board Software is in the process of being updated and we hope it will be ready in time. If not we will create an interim measure so folk can post their captures and then add them to the leader board as soon as it is up and running.

Thx MO. I hope someone in charge clarifies this for certain because that seems to be opposite of what I see in the rules:
"To qualify for a Regional Award you must act within all the Rules for the Spring Big 4 2019 and have the State of Capture started in the Leaderboard for all fish in your top 4 which MUST be the same State. "
I just would like to know for sure in order to plan my fishing and not find out later I wasted trips if I fish 2 different states (in my Region 1).
Yes fish caught in any of a regions states will qualify for a Regional award
-
OK let me try to clarify...
The Top Ten Big 4 Prizes, are awarded to the Biggest Four Carp caught ANYWHERE in North America. So you can travel all over and enter carp caught anywhere in USA, Canada or even Mexico. This also includes the prizes for Big Common and Big Mirror.
The Regional Awards, on the other hand, are only for carp caught in the states represented within each region. That's why we ask you to indicate each state in which you caught an individual fish. So if, for example, you enter for an award in Region III the carp must be caught ONLY from states within that region. So even if you're overall Big 4 Fish fall outside the Top Ten Prizes you might still be eligible for a Regional Award.
I hope this clarifies things.

Thanks Sam but I will only be in one Region (Region 1), but have the close by option of 2 states. I fish the Potomac and have options to fish it both in DC and VA (close to me), both of which are in Region 1. So this means I can only fish ONE of those 2 states, DC or VA but not both?
"To qualify for a Regional Award you must act within all the Rules for the Spring Big 4 2019 and have the State of Capture started in the Leaderboard for all fish in your top 4 which MUST be the same State. "
I just want to clarify so I can plan to fish just one of these 2 states if that is the case.
Yes for Regional awards all 4 fish entered must come from one region.
You can fish as many regions as you like and enter your top 4 fish from anywhere in North America to compete in the overall Big 4 Prizes.

quick question , if i register in one state but catch some fish in another how does that work if its in a different zone?
The overall Big 4 Results for places & prizes 1 - 10 apply to fish caught ANYWHERE in North America.
The Leader Board will ask you to indicate which State you caught your fish. This will identify the Regional Award winners.
Hope this answers your question.

Hi Nathan,
The rules state you must have the logo on a cell phone in the picture of you and the fish/scale for the first 48 hours. That would require a person to have another cell phone to take a picture of the logo on a cell phone...................am I missing something here? I can print the logo within minutes of it being on line.........but I can't get another phone........
...MO..
No... you can always have your printed version in the photo. We are re-writing the rule to clarify that for the FIRST 48 hours only you can ALSO display the logo on a mobile device. This is to allow folk who don't have access to a printer (perhaps because they are already bankside) in that time period an opportunity to post results.
-
Leaderboard is not set up just yet. We are still doing some updates and will give everyone a heads up when it is open to register.
-
Interesting that you can qualify for a Whopper Catch & Release Award for Carp (scroll down to Non Game Fish).
I agree the ANS section is confusing. I wonder if they meant to write Big Head or other carp species?
-
Regional Photo Plaque Awards will be mailed out this week!
-
Have you tried Carp Kit?
-
The Regional Awards will be going out in early January... Getting photo plaques made during the Holiday Season is harder than catching a carp through the ice

Please also send me your mailing address so I can send Kody his prize for Big Common
