I'm in Western Illinois and I have a very close friend who has undergone a life-changing surgery. I am hosting the fishing tournament part of a fundraiser for him. My end of the planning has led me to asking how any non-sanctioned events do the awards? My wife and I catch and release everything. We don't own a livewell, we don't have many friends that do either. We are trying to keep it open so that bank fishers can particapate as well. Would it be easiest to do it like an online style tournament, with a tape measure and a camera, or is there an easier solution to this? I want to be honest and fun at the same time. I have no idea how many people to expect, but we have some very generous people around here and I think that the majority of the people in the tourney are in it to help out a great individual.I have no idea what other people charge to enter tournaments, so does a $25 per 2 person team seem in line? Prizes are going to be gift cards, prizes and trophies. For those that didn't read the lonmg-winded explanation; Is the $25 Per two person team price too high or too low? Is the tape measure and photo part the easiest way to score? What are some fun awards to do too? (smallest fish, etc) I would like to pre-emptively thank everyone that has any input for me.
