[cool]Hey, Halibut, the 16 species contest has been running for awhile. They have not announced a winner yet. That tells me that either nobody on any of the BFT forums likes contests...there are no good fishermen...or maybe, like me, they are just too humble and do not care to post pictures of all the fish they catch.
The contest was to see who could catch 16 species first...accompanied by photos including the BFT logo and a ruler. Something like that. A good angler in southern Cal could do that in a good morning, if they planned it right. I know that one quick trip down to the Sea of Cortez would do it for me. Heck, I could hit two or three lakes in my area over a couple of days and have it bagged too.
When I suggested we have our own contest, I was only half joking. Some of the other boards have weekly contests...like "Fishing Report of the Week", etc. Anybody have any ideas for something we could all participate in, with the potential of everybody being able to win something?
For prizes, we could make it BFT oriented...like hats, shirts, etc. Or, I could put up a dozen jigs or flies...of your choice. On the Utah board...which is obviously more localized...they have one of the local tackle shops that puts up a $10 gift certificate periodically and then they have contests to win it. Anybody got any connections out there?
