Johnny, your bighead is big enough (25lbs or bigger) to get points. (also called 'citation' fish)

The BAA has a competition for 'Bowfisherman of the Year'. Points are acumulated by going to BAA sanctioned shoots (more points if you place higher and get the big fish) and by turning in citation fish.

I'm hoping to get a couple of women to turn in points (for shoots and fish) so there can be a 'bowfisherwoman of the year' award. Hear that Diana, Debra, LovestoBowfish and Joanne?

Here are the minimum weights for Citation fish (points fish)
