RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
Are you allowed to catch these threw the ice while jigging with artificial lures ?
|
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?
|
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.
|
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 |
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
The date in pic as well?
|
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.
|
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
Just stinkfish??? That isnt really fair with the southern guys vs the northern guys....we should come up with a system for multi species....
|
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
|
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. |
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. |
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?? |
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??? |
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
Sounds good ....

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

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES

RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
My guess for the biggest bass will be 'Fish Hook' by either c7 or buffdmac
|
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
i do have two texas trips planned this spring during the general spawn season.:D
|

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 .. |
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
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
I'm thiunking bc we are all now throwing some smack talk around we are happy with the rules??
|
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
I have signed up again tho fish normally do not run that big up here, but, surprizes can happen..:D
|
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
every year when i go up to pa to fish i catch the same size largemouth there as i do here for the most part. but the smallmouth up north i catch are huge
|
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
well i think in your picture you should have so identification to verify its you
|
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
You could do if you want, its for fun so the fish is good enough for me
|
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.
|
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
So, after reading all of this I am still confused.....
One person.... Please explain the "official" rules plainly in the english language for me. Thanks. |
RE: 2008 HNI FISHING CONTEST RULES
