% of state record sounds like the best idea to me. ;)

Excellent idea, Mac! ;)

Got to prove the weight. Will everybody be able to snap a pic on a scale? Probably not as easy on a released fish?

I think weight is the best way to go too though. Good call fellas. By gosh if I catch a 29" fluke that weighs 15 lbs and someone beats me with a 29.5" 12 lber I'll be ticked!

I'm with the % of state record thing. That makes it nice and clean and a pretty simple calculation. What about limiting the species? Should we limit to say around 20? Or leave this wide open?

I think I've seen around 10 commitments so far. Capt. Bent must be out fishing.

I'm in for whatever. I like an entry of $20 for several reasons. I think length would be better than weight. Everybody has an accurate ruler. Heck, it is for fun, right? I pledge that all my winnings are going to MJ anyways. :)

I'd leave the species open. *Let's say in Sept the walleyes are on vacation but the jumbo perch show up I would switch over to perch. *Why couldn't you post for two or three species its the greatest % that's going to take the money. *Another idea is to allow mulligans like in golf. *On in entry form an angler would state his #1 species but he could buy a mulligan for 5 or 10 bucks. *This way say I was going after walleyes but I hook into a giant catfish I could enter the caught cat also. *This would raise more money but also increases the work involved. *Billy Mac *;D

I just read Airslot post. *Length would be a good measure and easy to spot in a photo.

ANOTHER THING BR, IF WE CATCH ONE THE FIRST DAY OF A MONTH LONG TOURNEY, CAN WE UPDATE WITH A LARGER FISH CAUGHT 20 DAYS LATER ???

Re: 1st Annual WellcraftV20.com Fall Fishing Tourn
 

Well, Cy what about if we make the tourney run for x number of days but you only can sign up to tourney fish for 2 days? BEFORE you fish you would have to let me know your 2 dates, which I would record and email or fax or snail mail your proof of purchase with those dates printed on it. Just kinda spinnin off of one of RAP's ideas.

Re: 1st Annual WellcraftV20.com Fall Fishing Tourn
 

SOUNDS GOOD, THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS IF I PICK TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE, AND WHEN THEY GET HERE THERE IS A HURRICANE ON ITS WAY THROUGH TOWN. ??? >:(

Re: 1st Annual WellcraftV20.com Fall Fishing Tourn
 

Pre-pickin' DTF (Day To Fish) during the TP (Tournament Period) would be just like signin' up for a ''regular'' tournament that has a pre-determined date...plus you could pre-fish prior to even selecting your DTF...find that Honey-Hole, register your DTF w/ BR and go clean house!! ;)

Since the board is recorded, why not just have each entrant PM BR w/ his intended DTF and include all pertinant info at that time...save a tree...

Do we REALLY have to prove our catch (weight, length, quantity)?...it's gonna be hard to verify no matter how ya do it and if a LIAR enters he can always manipulate photos if he wants to...

If somebody CHEATS on this and he's dicovered, my vote would be to expose him and ban him from the board...and then lop off his Nortons :o ... ::)

Re: 1st Annual WellcraftV20.com Fall Fishing Tourn
