sounds like a great idea to me, i'm in. i think you got a great way to make it even there RAP.

I'm in! Point system sounds fine. Also ,if we wanted to do largest fish, might be determined by percentage of record size for any given species caught.

Maybe even just flat out just heaviest fish? *I'd say everyone should have access to some type of big fish no matter were they are, whether it be striper, catfish, carp, cod, tuna, sailfish, reds, black drum, sheepshead, bonito/albacore, king macks, sharks, bluefish, cobia etc. etc. *What else?

If we go for heaviest fish . . . . I'll win this one for sure!!

BR - This site is as much yours as it is mine . . . I just fork over the whopping $6.95/month to keep it online.

Hey BS, thats funny as heck, I was just getting ready to PM you about this - honestly!

So, now that we've got your royal blessing I would like to start a post to #1 see if there is enough interest and #2 bang around some ideas about how to do it. I will be glad to run the thing, but we need a good game plan. You are saying you will win heaviest fish for sure - so maybe that's not the best way to do it. I want to try to keep it as simple as possible. Some people have already suggested formulas for making this open to all species which I think is a great idea, but how do we do it? Would you have to take pics of 100 individual bream or the whole lot on a scale or what?

I can make this harder to cheat at by making a 1 page color flyer that has your entry # on it (along with some wellcraftv20 fishing tourny propaganda). I'll mail it out to each person when they pay and they will have to include it next to the fish in the picture. I know you fish hungry bastads are gonna be fishing over labor day ;D

BS, what's your opinion on it? Any ideas on how to do it - biggest fish, most fish, formula per species, only 1 species such as fluke (that cuts alotta people out).

i think it would have to be a slot tourney. a lot easier to catch 1 hundred pound tuna than it is to catch 50 two pound trout. bag limits could also be a prob. when you enter tell us what species ur gonna target. i say two species limit.we post the slot limit for each species. for example, redfish slot could be 16-28 inches. dont worry bout wieght. not fair unless all fish wieghed on same scale. trout slot could be 14- 21 inches. closest to max inches wins. a 20 inch trout would beat a 25 inch red cause it is closer to max size. all slots would be agreed on before start of tourney. in the event of a tie, most fish caught (within species class) wins. or closest to bag limit in ur state. throw down a newspaper with fish so we can verify date. also, we gotta figure on weather. if its beautifull in NC and storming in AL, not fair. this is where regional groups can come in to play. i dunno, just an idea.

Racer, great ideas. About bad weather, I think it would be cool to make the tourney last a couple or 3 weeks...maybe a month! Not everybody will be able to fish on the same day or even weekend. That should accomodate the weather thing too. Heck, I mean if it rains for 4 weeks where you live (not you racer) you might ought to move anyway ;)

I like that idea. I'm going to start a tourney post, but haven't decided whether to post in fishing section or general. I think it will get max exposure as a sticky under general section (I know RAP, we just got rid of the stickys there! ::)).

id say schedule it for one weekend. if weather an issue, have a regional do over. you give me a month, or a week for that matter, i gonna max out every species in the water!

Blue_Runner · #80 08-09-2006, 10:07 PM

Dayum Racer, you been holding out on us? Where's the pix bro? Is there something you haven't been telling us about your fishin abilities?

We got BS on one hand saying he can take biggest fish and now Racer claims if we give him more than one day he gonna get citations for multiple species!

Two things - can you guys take me fishing with you? And next question, when? ;D ;D 8)

I was thinking September 1st - October 1st with the quote unquote wiegh-in on October 1st. Gives us 3 weeks to make up rules and get entry fees in. I'm with the majority here though, I'm not gonna call all the shots. Just wouldn't be democratic ;)
