Are you allowed to catch these threw the ice while jigging with artificial lures ?

mbhutton 12-18-2007 05:57 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
As long as it is during the dates, fine by me

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
how exactly are we to include weight into the picture? try and get a pic of the scale?

goherd1111 12-19-2007 06:43 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
Is there gonna benorth and south divisions. Or are us northerners supposed to catch 8-10 pound bass like you southern guys have. Doesn't really seem fair. Maybe it would work if you weighed your top 2 or 3 fish instead of just one.

mbhutton 12-19-2007 07:57 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
As for the weight, i was thinking weigh it and include it in the posted picture. I think it will be pretty easy to tell a 2lb bass to a 10lb bass.

Heavest 2 fish in each catagory will be fine.

these were just a basic set up to see what everyone thought we can make change before it all starts

Phil from Maine 12-20-2007 04:43 AM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
The date in pic as well?

mbhutton 12-20-2007 11:06 AM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
Yeah i reckon we are gonna need some sorta date on this as well.

How about, a picturewith you and the fish, dated, with a weight included in the post.??

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
Putting in a date isn't important and it keeps the fish out of water longer than necessary. If people want to cheat they will find a way. Seeing as how there is no prize there is no need to cheat. All we need is a picture and a weight in the post.

Just stinkfish??? That isnt really fair with the southern guys vs the northern guys....we should come up with a system for multi species....

indianahunter83 12-21-2007 05:35 AM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
Problem being that you can probably come up with so many different species that everyone wins atleast one... who wants that?:D

goherd1111 12-21-2007 03:11 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
There is only one species, BASS!;)

Guys everyone should have a time stamp on their digital camera. Set the time and date correctly and the date will be on the picture. It's not that complicated. Last year we had people making name tags and all kinds of crazy ass things. I don't think that's really necessary.

mbhutton 12-21-2007 04:49 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
As goherd said, your camera will have a date stamp on it, that will do, if you can get picture with a weight on it great of not, weigh the fish take its photo and put him back in the water. Post the pic, if it has a date great, if it has a weight great to, if it has neither fine, its about the fishing not winning a contest where there is no prize involved, if people are gonna cheat they are gonna cheat.

This rule has been thrown around fro a while with mixed results, pic with fish is all we need

I take offense at that sir "Crazy ass things" ..since I was the one using that..My mechanism on my camera is broken.
I was simply following the rules..[8D]..to post screen name and date.IF the fisherman can not be in the picture.

buffdmac 12-21-2007 06:02 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
Teh reason for the tag was that some fishermen fish alone..and can't get their picture with the fish..

1. Will a tag be appropriate{with screen name} this year ifthe fisherman is alone??

mbhutton 12-21-2007 07:29 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
okay, Rule number 5 will be as follows

A picture of the fish, with or without person in it, weight to be posted with the fish and dated.

How does that sound???

Sounds good ....

I have to agree with goherd1111, on this one it would be real hard trying to catch an 8 pound smallmouth up this way...

mbhutton 12-23-2007 08:43 AM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
If everyone wants a north/south division we can come up with something like that, i was just trying to make it simple with biggest fish wins

Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone, just thought it was kind of silly.

I fish alone 99.9% of the time. Camera's also have a picture timer for that very reason. That is how I took all of the pictures of me and my fish.

If I lived in Alabama, Florida, etc.I would also like the one/biggest fish rule.;)

Doesn't matter... We all know the biggest 2 bass are coming form either Indiana or illinois!

mbhutton 12-24-2007 08:57 AM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
My guess for the biggest bass will be 'Fish Hook' by either c7 or buffdmac

Mbhuton..

You may be right..When we discovered the lake the spawn was nearly over last year..We had been fishing in Lake Legs up to that point. Our spawn started in Feb. last year..it changes each year by a few weeks. With artificial only we will be hitting Feb. - April very hard.
Good luck to everyone ..

I changed my vote... Josh will win. Unless I catch the 15lb snapping turtle that haunts my pond and dress it up like a largemouth

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES

childers 12-28-2007 01:53 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
well i think in your picture you should have so identification to verify its you

mbhutton 12-28-2007 02:56 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
You could do if you want, its for fun so the fish is good enough for me

indianahunter83 12-28-2007 03:07 PM

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
 
Are you serious?!?! I'm going to get online an copy some pictures of ish monroe and post them as my fish... well there is that problem that I'm not african-american but I'm sure everyone will let it slide. Seriously the only rules you really need for an online no prize fishing tournament is a start date, an end date, types and number of bass allowed, and a picture. Anythingelse is just silly. Just have fun.

Thanks.... I just didn't know what was what after reading thru all those pages.....

Did you guys really have cheaters last year? How did they cheat? Just curious.....

After I hear about how they cheated I will decide if I want to join or not... I am up here in Ohio where a 5 pounder is huge and 6+ is gigantic! lol.... We do have some nice smallies though.....
