Fish4Cash is a points based competition where competitors gain points in both National and State tournaments by catching the Fish4Cash species. There is a single Fish4Cash winner each month. The competitor with the most points takes home the cash! All Major Tournament competitors can participate immediately, and can win the Base Prize ($200+ cash) without doing anything new, so go for it!.

To spice things up a little, we are inviting ANYONE to contribute to the Fish4Cash Pool and join the Fish4Cash part of the competition! This includes Non Tournament Members, Major Tournament and Intro Tournament Members! Simply "buy-in" and participate in Fish4Cash and you will have a chance to win the entire Cash Pool. Non Members receive a Tournament Code and Intro and Major Members receive a Tournament Code upgrade that tells us that they are now competing for the big money! Please note that Fish4Cash upgraded Intro and Non Tournament members may only target Fish4Cash species from National and State tournaments.

The Fish4Cash winner is the person with the most points at the end of the month. Points are primarily earned buy catching the longest fish for each Fish4Cash species. Additional points can be earned throughout the month for achieving goals like taking the lead and entering Fish4Cash fish species. End of month rewards are also given for most fish entry days and other similar achievements.

There can be only one... Fish4Cash Winner!
The Fish4Cash Winner prize will vary as follows:

Base Prize	for Major Tournament competitor that did not enter Cash Pool
Cash Pool	for Non Tournament and Intro Tournament competitors that entered the Cash Pool
Base Prize & Cash Pool	for Major Tournament competitors that entered Cash Pool

Fish4Cash Game Play
Fish4Cash Competitors target species marked with Fish4Cash prizes in the National and State tournaments.  Unlike the Major and Intro Tournaments, Fish4Cash species are on a points based system.  The Fish4Cash winner will be awarded to the competitor with the most points at the end of the month.

The aim of the points based system is to give every fisherman a great chance of winning by being rewarded for consistent effort as well as longest fish.

Points only apply to species listed with a "Fish4Cash" prize.

The Points Based System works like this:
