Brown Bagger Rules

  • To get into the club you must catch two west coast browns over ten pounds.
  • The browns must be caught in the USA, west of the Mississippi River.
  • All fish need to be weighed on a certified scale. If a certified scale is not available then a high quality digital or spring scale should be used.
  • Length and girth must be taken.
  • Good photo documentation has to be provided. Video documentation is even better. Try to include the scale readout and length/girth measurements.
  • A witness should to be present at weigh in if possible.
  • A panel of members may vote on any fish that they think may be close to 10 pounds.
