Certifying a Trophy Fish by Weight• Take your fish to a store with certified scales. Have a clerk weigh the fish and complete the witness information on the trophy fish application. • Or, weigh your fish on a personal scale that has been certified.
Have an observer witness and verify the weight and fill out
the witness information or if a witness is not available, take a
picture of the fish next to a ruler. Fill out the date the scale was
certified, the company or organization certifying the scale, the
make and model and the maximum weight of the scale. (Scales
must be certified within a year prior to the date of catch. See
the Trophy Fish page on our website for more information
about calibrating and certifying scales.)Use the following link for more information and the citation application you can print. VDGIF Trophy Fish Program (PDF Format)

say a person happened to catch a citation striper The first thing to do is let me know where, what time of day, what depth, and what kind of bait. |

Citations can be weight OR length (37"+). If you have a witness on length they can sign the form or you can take a pic of the fish on the ruler. Listed above but sort of gets lost in the discussion in certified scales.

Listed above but sort of gets lost in the discussion in certified scales. Yes, it is pretty vague, but it is there.....Under the Program Policies paragraph. You would think they would at least tell you how to do that, just by length...  The fish must be registered according to the proper procedures. Fish may be certified by weight, or length, or both. Weights from store certified scales or personal scales will be accepted. Personal scales must be calibrated and certified within a year of date of catch.(See the Trophy Fish page on our website for more information about calibrating and certifying scales) |

I have 0 SML citation papers. I've caught my fair share of citations from a number of different species..even a muskie. Pictures are worth a lot more to me..I know what I caught..don't need the government to tell me. They just want the money.

One thing about certified scales. You have to find a place to certify them. I called around Roanoke a while back trying to find a place to certify my grips. Only one place would even entertain the idea but they would only do it if they came factory certified. I will have to try and dig up the name of the company.
