Do you want an NDA Ice Fishing Contest?

[Vollmer]

I am considering building an ice fishing contest. Not huge prizes, so as to deter cheating. Some prizes, but more of a bragging rights , fun, thing.

My thinking:
Submissions will grant you entries into a raffle.
Every 18" - 21 3/4" walleye: 1 entry
Every 22" - 25 3/4" walleye: 2 entries
Every 26" - 29 3/4" walleye: 3 entries
Every walleye 30" and over: 5 entries

Do the same sort of system for perch? bluegill? pike?

Picture proof required, on a ruler.
Lengths rounded down to the 1/4"

Maybe have additional prizes for biggest overall fish, most submissions, etc ...

I have a system built for this. Just looking to get some feedback.

In addition, looking for any help in filling the prize pool.

Prizes donated:
DirtyMike - custom lures
Auggie - Ice rod
Captain Ahab - St. Croix eyecon 6' 3" logo rod
KDM - Variety pack of jigs
Brian Renville - stuff (yet to be determined)

Considering I get to go ice fishing very few times this year, I will be using roughly half of ahabs pictures. Thanks cap'n

Oh and you fools will get a few lures from me for one of the prizes

 

[lunkerslayer]

Dirty for these prizes I think they should be a limited edition type lure that way one day when you make the big time we can display them knowing these are one of a kind lures.

Wait would this be a all get together and drink with a line in the water contest or a fish where ever you want and submit contest?

Fish wherever you want and submit.

But I'd also like to do a get together later as well.

no lake winny eyes since some of us can't afford them trips with the recent downturn in cattle prices.
;:;rofl


how about a 5 buck entry fee to be used for prizes?

Winni counts imo.
Rather keep it free to avoid the red tape.

Since that beef is so worthless you might wanna donate 1/4 or a 1/2 for first prize ? Good tax write off too. #$%^&>

or not. it's actually worth more butchered than it is live

 

[wildeyes]

let the fun began, O wait need ice. I would do this.

 

[Still_Learnin']

I'll play! Probably won't catch a walleye but I'm down for the bluegill and perch side of it!

On a side note, its my last winter here and I'm in the process of getting rid of all of my ice fishing stuff. already sold off the rods and tackle. Anyone want to take me out for a day on the ice? I like to drink beer and am willing to buy it for the trip. Sometimes I like to fish too.

 

[3Roosters]

I'd be game for it.#$%^&>

 

[luvcatchingbass]

I see know problem with Winni pig walleyes beings I can't hardly catch one beside accident/dumb fish of the lake. Panfish (do Bass count) and Pike would be nice.

 

[Vollmer]

I'm going to be pitching in. Just not sure what yet. Maybe a rod/reel combo to start.

 

[lunkerslayer]

What about a bragging rights board all year long for everyone to vote on which entry wins for the week, month or year.
That way those who like to get pissy when Capt or Mushky shows off their best poses can really pour on the wine for lambasting.

 

[johnr]

How are we going to be certain the liberals in our group wont use some old pictures, or someone else's fish?

I see some shenanigans coming into play with our slick democrat buddies...haha

Remember Hillary? she was always on the take, and Bernie supporters feel as though our fish are their fish..?
