To qualify for the big fish program:

• A person must bring the fish and an official certificate stating the fish was weighed on a certified scale, that they caught the fish in Lake Shelbyville and the weight of the fish.
• If the fish is larger than the previous fish in the program the Corps will have the fish mounted.
• The fish must hang in the Visitor’s Center until a larger one is turned in. “At that time the previous “big fish” may be taken home by the owner.
• To display a picture of your big fish. Bring a picture to the Lake Shelbyville Visitor Center to be displayed. A picture may also be taken of your fish at the Visitor Center.
