should we have a FRIENDLY (<--key word) TW fishing derby (tournament)?

Big fish?

best of five fish? length or weight? i think length keeps us more honest.

i don't own a fish measuring board, but that's easily remedied. just a gentlemans wager? bragging rights?

we could do it over an entire month..APRIL? i do realize lots of the country is still frozen over, but hell us Californians cant wait..it's about to go off over here.

 

Will these be a specific type of fish? Or just a free for all?

 

C'mon, just as the ice is becoming unsafe and snow melt muddies every river?!

 

Panfish class, bass, trout/salmon, ocean?

 

Yah am I catching a brook trout or am I catching a black tip shark?

 

Either way .. I’m in!

 

Total length of 100 blue gill and sunfish will be hard to beat, lol.

Maybe best of 5 sorted by region, or salt/fresh water? More people/fish, the better

 

Slab season almost over, I'll join the trout one next!

 

Guess I’m going to find some more sharks in April!

 

How long is that shark? About 20 blue gill?

 

@StayinStock @FishnTx @1buzzbait @cory02taco

 

I’ve always favored heaviest. I have caught 20” flounder which weighed more than a 22” sea bass...

 

20 blue Gill and 3 yellow perch.

 

@Subway4X4

 

Clearly I didn’t give this much thought.

I’m thinking bass?

 

Haha.

 

My buddies host a similar event called “Buttercup Brawl Invitational.”

The Rules:

For single days:
Lines in 7am

5" minimum length for all fish except Bass (or legal minimum)

10" minimum for Bass (or legal minimum)

No Trolling, only one line in the water at any time

Artificial baits only.

A measuring board with a bump board is required. No measuring tapes, etc. Most common is Ketch or Hawg trough.

Total length of five longest fish Winner Takes All. Biggest single black bass (largemouth, smallmouth, spotted) takes Big Bass prize.

Each participant will start their own thread on this page event day in which to post pics and length of their catches. Please do not comment on each other's catch threads so we can keep judging as clean as possible.

We rely heavily on the Honor System.

 

I'd be interested. I mostly troll for walleye, wiper and trout so the rules above would make that pretty hard.

 

Not sure how you guys are going to keep up with these monsters I pulled out last year.

 

Wow I’m surprised that bass didn’t pull ur kayak under.
