The prize is $300 cash, paid to one winner by check or electronic transfer within 30 days of confirming eligibility. The winner is the angler with the longest catch verified by the Fish Club review team; ties go to the catch logged earliest. The winner is notified through their Fish Club account and the email on file, and confirms age and Utah residency before payment. Taxes on the prize are the winner's responsibility. The prize is not transferable. Verification decisions by the Fish Club review team are final, including disqualification of any entry or angler for fraud, misrepresentation, or rule violations.
