FD's SUMMER SLAM - CONTESTANTS AND RESULTS

[FD.]

After the success of the State vs State we did this spring, I thought we could do another one, the Summer Slam.

Now being someone who has a favorite way to fish, I was thinking that we could learn something as well as have a fun contest.

Here is the twist.  Your score is the combined score of 3 fish, 1 each from the below listed methods .  This will force us, or at least me, to put down my favorite rig and fish something else.

METHOD 1 - fish caught with a soft plastic  T-rig/C-rig/swimbait.

METHOD 2 - fish caught with a topwater Frog/popper/devils horse/ ect.

METHOD 3 - fish caught with a crankbait/spinnerbait/hard swimbait.

Final scoring with be the combined score of your largest fish, in the time frame of the contest, caught using each of the above methods.

RULES

1.  This is for FUN...

2.  There is 1 division.   Any Black Bass that has a State Record weight is allowed (largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, ect).

3.  This contest runs from daybreak on July 1, 2008 to sunset on August 15, 2008.

4.  Artificial bait ONLY.  If you are sight fishing, the fish must be hooked inside the mouth.  All fish must be caught in PUBLIC fishing areas.  No private stocked ponds.

5.  Scoring of the fish shall be completed as follows:

Example

fish weight = 10.5 lbs  (my pb)

state record Fl Largemouth= 17.27 lbs

FW / SR x 100 = your score

10.5/17.27x100 = 60.80  rounded to 2 decimals

In order for your fish to count, you must submit a picture, the state record weight for the state the fish was caught in, and an accurate weight of the fish.  Your fish must be submitted within one week of being caught. (No sandbagging)  You may submit as many fish as you want as long as subsequently caught fish are larger.  All fish must be submitted before 7 am on August 16, 2008.

6.  You can be disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior.  The definition of "unsportsmanlike" is completely at the discretion of myself and the moderators.

7.  Entry Fee - You must post your intention to compete along with a picture of your SMALLEST bass on this thread. You must have submitted your entry prior to midnight June 30, 2008.

Only post once to this thread.  Keep editing your post to add fish from different methods or upsize fish that have been previously posted.  Do your own math, which will be checked by everyone, and put your current score in the bottom line of your post.
