My friend,
This is completely Josh's tournament 100%. I'm ok with what ever you guys want to do. Josh wil be a tough competitor because he is a semi pro . That will push the rest of us to fish seriously. I know it did me last year. I caught alot more hawgs last year because of Josh. I also fished twice as much. I lost some monsters last year and I will be trying to correct those mistakes this year.
Good luck and be safe.

Umm question
Is there going to be a largemouth to smallmouth conversion because there is no such thing as a 10 lb smallmouth?

hey josh wanna let it go a lil longer the saltwater is my first priority since i charter and dont bass fish much anymore

Josh, If I'm in the picture with the fish do I need any measurements or weights? Or is it based on an honor system? If I understand the rules right you need some sort of measuring device if you are not in the pics. But if you are in the pictures you don't need a measurement. Just the picture and weight. Is this correct. My lake won't thaw until mid march so I just wanted to get the rules straight now. Sorry for the question, I was just a little confused on how to post the pictures and weight. By the way be prepared,because I will come out of the northern division. LOL! had to throw in a little trash talk. This will be my first fishing contest on huntingnet, but after seeing your pictures Josh I want to come fish with you sometime. I've fished in Texas many times and as far as I'm concerned there is no better place around to catch big bass.

Yes, if you are in the picture, no measurements required, just a scale weight in your entry post. Its easier to tell the size of the fish when your holding it. Not saying anyone would do it, but you can make a 18" bass look 8 lbs if you get far enough away from it. By taking the photo on a measurig device (I put a 3' yard stick in my boat) it makes it easier for those of us who fish alone. The key here is not over handle the fish trying tog et yourself in the picture if your fishing alone.

I was thinking about getting trophy's made for the north and south winner. And possibly even collecting a pool of $10 per contestant, and getting a replica mount done of the biggest fish caught by the winner for the entire tournament. It would sort of be like the "lunker pot". Completely up to you guys though. If we decide to go with this route, I'd recommend we get length and girth measurements of all fish though.

Chris, I just so happen to live about 20 minutes from Choke Canyon Reservoir. Last year I had 3 stringers OVER 35 lbs. (5 bass). 3 bass over 10 lbs, and 78 over 5 lbs.
I will be moving back to Martinsburg, WV in the summer, so maybe we can get onto some fall bass at Sleepy Creek Lake.

I'll give a few more days to see if anyone else wants to sign up. We can end the first round in July if you guys want. Like a real tournament, no seperation for smallmouth/largemouth, since your TWO BIGGEST fish count, and theres a north/south bracket.

Sounds good Josh I would def. like to hook up sometime and do a little fishing. I didn't realize you was a fellow west virginian. Thats pretty cool. I grew up in Huntington, WV and lived there my whole life until I moved to IL 3 years ago. Anyway keep in touch and I look forward to this contest. To bad I can't fish for at least another month.

I am going to fish a couple of tournys this year can I scan my weigh in ticket and count that?

we need pics of individual fish and their weights, since only the 2 biggest for each person counts
