This past year has been a tremendous amount of fun competing doing something we all love anyway, fishing. All though I don't need an excuss to go fishing having a contest to get fish into has not hurt.

Then when the contest ends and the winners announced and you think all is said an done, at your door step a package shows up and the fun just continues. I was happy with a trophy I was sent for the 16 species contest. Then a few days later another package shows up at the door. It was like Christmas coming early. Tackle and T's. I felt like a kid again and you know what it's all free. Being a member and joining in what a reel deal. You know all they ask is you visit the site sponsors, I've used these companys and there are great prices on tackle and gear. This site is a win win situation.

Thanks again BIGFISH [/#ff0000][/size]

sO YOU DONt actually enter, but you send your pictures in tooo.........?

What species dont count? Does it matter if it is a "trashfish" or does it have to be all game fish, also can it be fresh and salt water combined? Or one or the other..

Thanks

if you count a 60 inch carp a trash fish, then yes they count. they have to be a fish caught by hook and line.

I will enter pics, but it would be unethical for judges to enter a contest they are judging.

from time to time I will tally the scores so every one can see just where they stand and what they have to do to get a head.

Soon as I remember my camera, I'll start sendin'!

The part about the BigFishTackle logo... does it have to be somewhere on me when the pic is taken? If I'm reading this correctly, I can't "paste" the logo on the pic once it's in my computer. Is that correct?

[davetclown]

you are correct in that the logo must be in the picture and not paisted in later.
