BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted February 1, 2011 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted February 1, 2011 In 2008 I started a contest for the largest bass relative to your state record and it's that time of year again. We are starting a little earlier this year to give the southern guys a shot at the end of the spawn and going to run through the end of May for you northern folks. So if you guys are ready then let's get signed up. If you want to play, then all you have to do is declare your intention to get whipped by us Florida guys this year. I know I said that last time, maybe it will come true one year. This contest will run from daylight on March 15th through dark on June 12th. Anyone who has posted to this thread by midnight on March 14th is eligible to play. Prizes to be determined at a later date. Although I heard a rumor that if the winning fish is caught on and photographed with a megastrike bait, then there will be bonus prizes. RULES 1. This is for FUN... 2. Any Black Bass species with a state record is eligible. You must have submitted your entry prior to midnight March 14, 2011. 3. This contest runs from daybreak on March 15th, 2011 to sunset on June 12, 2011. 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 (ie you own the pond and are raising trophies). 5. Scoring of the fish shall be completed as follows: Example FW = fish weight = 10.5 lbs (my pb) SR = state record Fl = 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. You can submit fish caught in different States but only your highest score counts. 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 score higher. All fish must be submitted before 7 am on June 13th, 2011. 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 play on this thread prior to midnight March 14th. Directors Note-----Have fun, catch fish, and post your results...... I did not do one in 2010 but here are the results from 2009 http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1239831105 PS - there is a side contest for the old timers at registration. Post your best "avid" look-a-like photo. The best one in my opinion gets a bonus prize. You will be judged on composition as well as content. PSS - if you have to ask "what is an avid photo" then, you don't qualify for this part...

clipper Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'm in. I know I won't win on a largemouth from Georgia seeing the state record is also the world record, but I might get lucky and catch a big spot.
