Yep it's that time of year again.

2008 I started a contest for the largest bass relative to your state record and it's that time of year again. We are starting a little later this year and going to run through the middle of June.

So if you guys are ready then let's get signed up.

If you want to play, then all you have to do is declare your intention to participate in the "get your but kicked by Dwight," tournament. If you play, you will find out who he is and how bad you suck.

This contest will run from daylight on April 15th through dark on June 19th. Anyone who has posted to this thread by midnight on April 14th is eligible to play.

Prizes to be determined at a later date.

RULES

1. This is for FUN...

2. There are 3 classes this year. Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted. You must have submitted your entry prior to midnight April 14, 2013.

3. This contest runs from daybreak on April 15th, 2013 to sunset on June 19, 2013.

4. Artificial bait ONLY. If you are sight fishing, the fish must be hooked inside the mouth. All fish must be caught in PUBLIC fishing areas. No private stocked ponds (ie you own the pond and are raising trophies).

5. Scoring of the fish shall be completed as follows:

Example

FW = fish weight = 10.5 lbs

SR = state record Fl = 17.27 lbs

FW / SR x 100 = your score

10.5/17.27x100 = 60.80 rounded to 2 decimals

In order for your fish to count, you must submit a picture, the state record weight for the state the fish was caught in, and an accurate weight of the fish. You can submit fish caught in different States but only your highest score counts. Your fish must be submitted within one week of being caught. (No sandbagging) You may submit as many fish as you want as long as subsequently caught fish score higher. All fish must be submitted before 7 am on June 20th, 2013.

6. You can be disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior. The definition of "unsportsmanlike" is completely at the discretion of myself and the moderators.

7. Entry Fee - You must post your intention to play on this thread prior to midnight April 14th.

Directors Note-----Have fun, catch fish, and post your results......

Me too.

Oh wait a minute the mid-April start date could be controversial.

 

I seem to remember a good number of Big smb caught on Lake Erie often come very early in the month of April.

 

We might actually have a chance this year . . . . .

 

Fingers crossed.

Got to be in it to win it. So, I'm in even though I need a fin and a prayer.

 

Love the LM, SM and Spot catagories. It gives the rest of us a shot when those guys up north are slaying giant SMs.

Hey J can I be re-qualified if I get you to spend a little boat time in the starcraft?

Maybe, lol.  Gotta get you over to a certain creek mouth on the east side as well.
