8. Cameras – In order to maintain tournament integrity each participant will be given an Official Tournament Camera. Upon kayak launch on dry ground, a photograph must be taken with the participant and kayak in the same photo. At the end of fishing a picture with the participant, the kayak and the fish to be weighted in the picture at the kayak launch (on land) before putting the kayak or gear away.
Upon weighing in, the Official Tournament Camera must be returned at the tournament weigh-in location.
Participants will be subject to disqualification if the camera rules are not followed correctly.
Cameras containing winning fish will be developed before payouts are given. No payouts will be given until the BD Outdoors Yellowtail Shootout Committee has picture verification and/or a polygraph test is completed.
9. Tie-Breaker Rule – If there are two or more individual fish having identical weights, the first fish brought to the dock and weighed will be awarded the higher place should both fish be in top prize spots. The Dana Landing weigh station will be equipped with a digital clock to record the time on the weigh slip.
10. Weight determination – Fish weight will be calculated by the single heaviest fish per kayak participant. A maximum of 3 yellowtail per person can be weighed to determine heaviest fish in bag. A single limit of white sea bass can be weighed separate of the 3 yellowtail.

Kayak's with trolling motor don't qualify I assume?

Take your yak out to Mission or SD Bay and get used to the feeling of it.. Take no or as little as possible gear so you can practice entry and re-entry (it's that time of year, water and air temps are decent enough you may enjoy the dip).. Yes, literally flop or jump out of your kayak in water and see what it takes you to get back in, therefore if it happens in open water, you are prepared.. After a day or 2 of farting around on a new kayak, most are comfortable with how they perform then from there the world is your oyster my man.. Most probably will not take you up on your offer to fish this sunday but don't let that deter you... Get out there, get you and your kayak wet and soon enough you will be pulling up fish on her... Time on the water is key my man, safety first then fun from there..
