I thought I was in, and I still will be if I can paint stripes on a Walleye. *So that no one is left out that wants to enter why not alllow all species and compare your catch to the state record for that type of fish. *The state would be the state or province in which you are fishing. *We would be comparing percentage weight, all species would be compared against each other.

I would also think that as the entry fee goes up the number of entries will go down.
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%
Rap would win.
I suggest using state records because growth rates are different for all states
