How to Post: The following must be included in your fish picture to be counted:

• A picture of your fish on the scale. Picture should show the entire fish (if poss) and the scale weight of the fish.
  * To add credence to your fish's weight, include a picture next to a tape measure and specify length (to 1/8th inches rounded up.
  * Your entry # - written on paper (or something) next to the fish.
  * You standing next to or holding the fish.
  * If you cannot get all of this in one picture, you may post more than 1 picture.
  * No digital camera? Either borrow one from a friend or take your pictures with a regular camera, scan and post. Help will be provided for anyone having trouble posting but you can't wait until 1 hour befor the end!
  * You do not have to keep the fish to enter. You may release the fish, but not before capturing the above information on your camera!

Determination of Winner: Winner will be determined on how his fish's weight compares to the state record fish for the state in which the fish is caught.

Example: Mac Attack catches a 4.75lb walleye His fish would be compared against the Ontario record walleye 22.25 lb 4.75/22.25=21.34%

Rap catches a 12.25lb striped bass NC record striped bass 54.125lb 12.25/54.125=22.6%

I am in!! Not sure I will get out or not?? But what the heck!!

Make sure you guys enter your pic's in the Photo Contest also! I will end it midnight 10/31!

Thanks CY!!

Ok boys, there she is. I have extended the tourney to 2 weeks long this year. No more " I did not have time to fish".

Last years winner was sean. Lets not let him do it again. :bat: speaking of the devil anyone heard from him lately?

:hide:What's up fella's.. Most likely won't have a chance to give the contest the attention that it deserves this year as I am preparing/and anxiously awaiting the possibility of the fall run of Blue Fin Tuna (My new obsession:love:) in our offshore/inshore ledges. Hopefully after the moon on Monday the bite will pick up and I can finally put one in the boat! Ever since my 1st trip out, I have been over whelmed with the amount of life we have just off shore, flying fish, whales, porposes, dolphin, turtles, different species of bird and most import TUNA!!!!!! Good luck Guys!!!

WHAT YOU DONT THINK ONE OF THOSE TUNA WILL WIN IT FOR YA:head:

HOPE YOU RECONSIDER. :sad:

Lumber's daughter was in the tourney last year and will be again this year. Wondering if we will let other people sign up as well. My fishing partner wants in as well.

any opinions?

Did we only do one week last year? I can't remember. I do remember the 1st annual tourney lasted one month and we had 13 or 14 paying participants....I'm sure Airslot remembers since he won the darn thing with a fish market flounder :cen:
I say heck yeah lets sign up as many as possible. Just remember let's all make sure to be HONEST, meaning no cheating. That is one thing we risk if we let outsiders get involved. I say if it is a close friend of a member or an extremely good trustworthy friend we should allow them to enter.

Besides, I could use the extra cash!! DOUBLE HARDY HAR!!

I'll be in, not sure how much I'll fish that period as work is busy. I'll talk trash when it get closer to fishing time :nut:

My money has been sent! :sun:

Wow, I'm in!
I doubt I'll have a chance in hell at winning but who cares? It will be fun.

Well...since I had a SLIGHT hand IN KICKIN' THIS THING OFF TO BEGIN WITH, I gonna join in the fun again this year!!...two weeks is my vote if we're still decidin...but I'm in either way...


Cy...see yer email...special info...

glad some more signed up! dont forget to send me an email to

i will send you a PayPal request or my address for a check.

Reel, no email buddy...try her again

ok....I changed the tourney. most guys say they will have a hard time getting out to fish.....so it will now last 1 MONTH

September 20th at 6am till October 19th at midnight.

O baby!! You know what I like!!

I might get out after all?? I waiting for the doc to give the go ahead!

Sean....who's boat is taking you offshore??? No toggin' this year?

whale.....you in the tourney this year????

I've been going out in my boat, the 18' skiff:beer: I have done 100 mile days and burned only about 25 gallons. Not Offshore like the Canyons, but fishing Cox's Ledge, Mudhole, Fingers ect.... Knock on wood, I have been lucky with weather/sea and only go if I have a "defenant' window.
Still scared to death of running towards blitzing whales.. as I had whales with in a few yards of the boat that just dwarfed me. Bite should start picking up so if you want to go, let me know.

I'm actually thinking of doing my 1st Tog trip tomorrow. Planning on running around for a bit and see if any bones/albies are showing up, Jig up some bass/blues then anchor up on a good early spot that usually gets over fished by Oct 1st and crush up some crabs...

glad to have ya:clap:

I'm paid up now....kinda pointless though since the money is just going to go right back in my pocket!! :sun:

at least you guys have a boat to fish on.....mine blew up yesterday:nut:

Maybe its ok Cy she could have just over-heated. BTW I'm still having motor problems myself. I almost thought about selling until DMoore showed me that killer V21/workshop combo and I've decided best to keep the old gal. My V has been sitting on the trailer since July 27th b/c my buddy bought a 22ft Clearwater CC.

Which boat to fish? :head:
I suppose that is a great problem to have but lately it has sucked for my beloved V21.:sad:

By the way - don't let that stop you. Go to a nearby lake or a pond. I will likely doing my tourney fishing off the dock at High Rock Lake. Caught a couple nice 5 lb channel cats yesterday. ~24 lb state record therefore 5 lbs = 20%. I'm still looking for that 10 - 15 lber to get near the 50% mark. I won't be lookin too hard till game day though.

Good luck on your engine.
