"1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

[FASTEDDIE29]

Tis the season………………………………to pull some fish through some icy NJ holes. In the spirit of the off season as some "ANGLERS" like to call it, we the members of NJFISHING.COM are going to have a little contest. I'm not sure how these so called "ANGLERS" fish from April-October and then call it quits. Especially when there's fish to catch all year round in our great little state. This contest will begin as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe ice in NJ. The contest ends March 21st at midnight. The contest will be 20 bucks per man. If you know me hand me the money. If not, we'll set something up via Paypal or you can just send me a check in the mail. There will be 5 categories and they are as follows.

Category 1 - Large and Smallmouth Bass
Category 2 - Pickeral
Category 3 - Pike
Category 4 - Walleye
Category 5 - Perch and Crappie

There will be 1 winner for each category. The biggest fish entered in each category "WINS"! The angler with the most entries in the most categories will get a "BONUS PRIZE"! That's for the angler that catches alot of fish but never seems to get the biggest one. There will be "CASH" prizes for the top fish in each category.

IF YOU WANT TO BE "IN" THIS CONTEST I NEED YOU TO POST ON THIS THREAD THAT YOU ARE
…………..." IN "…………...
RULES -

You "MUST" be a NJFISHING.COM member to enter the contest. This means you "LURKERS" out there need to join the site or well, you get "ZERO"! It's not going to hurt to become a member so do it………………………... "NOW"!

Your entry/ fish "MUST" be caught in NJ. This includes Greenwood Lake and the Delaware River. No out of state fish will be excepted. If your where-a-bouts are questionable you will go in front of the committee. "TRUST ME" you don't want that to happen.

"NO PRIVATE LAKES", "PUBLIC LAKES ONLY"! This means you "HACKS" that fish your backyards every season don't really stand a chance, LMAO!!!!! "HACKS"!!!

You "MUST" provide a pic of your fish next to a "TAPE MEASURE". A real "TAPE MEASURE" like the ones purchased from Home Depot, Lowes or manly stores. "No" paper tapes, "NO" tapes from your dry cleaner or tailor. This is important. If we can't read the numbers on your "TAPE MEASURE", you are "SCREWED"!

There will be a "MYSTERY" item that you must include in your pic in order for your entry to count. Make sure you have this item on you at all times. No "MYSTERY" item in the pic, UH OH, guess what? Your entry will not count. You'll be "SCREWED" again!

The "MYSTERY" item will be available on December 20, 2014.

Here's how to enter your pics. Place the fish on the ice gently next to the "TAPE MEASURE" with the " MYSTERY" item. Take a pic. Then take your fancy digital camera or phone and take a "SELFIE" of you on the Ice with the fish. A little background doesn't hurt. DO NOT SPOT BURN! I recognize alot of bushes and trees on NJ lakes and ponds so show me and the committee something in the background.

Post your entry on this thread for all of us "ICE MANIACS" to see! Please be sure to have nice clear pics of your entry!

Deadline to get "IN" this contest will be Friday January 9th. If your not on the list by January 9th, well, your not in the contest. No exceptions!!

Contest runs as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe Ice in NJ. Contest is over at midnight of March 21, 2015. No entries will be excepted after this deadline

Those are the rules plain and simple. If I forgot anything hopefully the "COMMITTEE" will chime in and pick up where I left off. There will be other prizes donated along the way so sign up to NJFISHING.COM now. You don't want to miss this one. There's going to be prizes galore. Hopefully some of the kind sponsors will throw us a prize or 2. This is going to be a fun contest made for the members of NJFISHING.COM by the members of NJFISHING.COM. No "DRAMA" will be excepted in this contest. Trash talk on the other hand is greatly appreciated. Don't be scared to "STIR THE POT", just make sure you do it in a respectful manner, LMFAO!!!!!! See you "MANIACS" out there. Be safe. Beware of thin Ice.

Can't wait to get out there.

[gwl2oneida]

Just to get this party started, I'm donating a strikemaster mora hand auger. I'll let eddie assign what category that prize will go to. It's game on gentlemen.

[briansnat]

Oh well, I do 90 percent of my ice fishing on Fayson Lakes so it would be pointless for me to enter.

[FASTEDDIE29]

Oh well, I do 90 percent of my ice fishing on Fayson Lakes so it would be pointless for me to enter.

Your close to a lot of public access lakes. Why throw in the towel so early. If you catch a 14 inch Perch or Crappie you might win something. If you catch a 6lb Largemouth you have an excellent chance. All it takes is one day out and not lucky tip up!!!! C'mon dude!!!!

[Mikey topaz]

Im in dude! Looking foward to kickin off the 2014 ice season and get this party started,

[JimmyLivebait]

Oh I'm in brother too bad I think the topaz will be in the lead by 4pm today lol. Can't wait to see the rescue team trying to find his crazy ass

[Jigman13]

You're right...you never know. A lot of those big fish posted last year are from a private lake though ;)

[GetANet]

All you guys who never ice fished before this is a PRIME OPPORTUNITY for you to experience it and learn the ropes so to say from some of the Vets on our site.
Ice fishing is not extremely expensive to get the basic stuff required. I personally am not too interested in jigging but will do it on occasion. I prefer to use Tip Ups with bait and wait. Here's some of the basic stuff I would recommend:
1> Some form of ice creepers is a must, There are a lot of different kinds out there to buy or if you wanna go cheap and save your money you can make your own by taking a few inch piece of chain and fasten it to the bottom of your boots with a shoe lace or small rope. Google how to make ice creepers and you will find the video. I thought it was pretty simple and affordable and might make a spare pair for back up.
2> Tip ups you are allowed 5 in NJ or 4 and a rod 5 is nice but 3 or 4 will get you started. There are a ton of these out there too depending on how much you want to spend. Polars are nice. they work well and are not too expensive or you can buy the basic wooden style which I use.
I am 50 years old and have had these since I was a teenager and they still work perfectly. You will need some braided dacron line and some leader material as well as some hooks and terminal tackle which most of you prob already have (Hooks Swivels Split shots).
3> An ice rod if you like they are not very expensive or you can use a small 4/5ft ultralight as well which is what I do if I want to Jig.
4> some type of device to make holes - gas augers/ electric augers/ hand augers/ chopping bar I have even seen people use an axe although I STRONGLY DO NOT Recommend that to make some holes on the ice. Most of the time ice fishing is usually a community sport meaning theres usually others on the ice too. Some will drill holes for you which is what we do at meet and greets but not something to rely on and you are better off if you can make your own.
5>An ice scooper and a depth finder (Weight that clips on your line not a Hummingbird LOL) and you are basically ready to ice fish.
Another good idea is a pair of ice pics for safety and you should try to always fish with someone else just in case of the event of one falling thru the ice.
COMMON SENSE IS FREE USE IT IMO the ice needs to be a solid 4 inches before I will venture out on it. To each his own but why would you wanna risk your life? SAFETY IS PRIORITY ONE!!!!

So if you wanna experience it and want a relief from cabin fever get the basics and come on out!!!! We have several meet and greets on the ice through out the ice season and these are the best ways for you to learn how to ICE EM!!!!
The contest is just something to make the ice season a little bit more fun and you never know BEGINNERS LUCK might just come your way!!!!
Jigman never ice fished till last year and I took him under my wing and look what he did as a first timer in the ice!!!!!!
Any one can feel free to chime in if I left something out or you have some additional pointers for us!!!!

[Mikey topaz]

Kinda like your pike from ct lol same thing right lmfao!

[saxmatt]

Kinda like your pike from ct lol same thing right lmfao!
You said you saw rookies pull out pike bigger than the one I posted from a public lake in NJ. I said those fish, (should have pointed out that only 1 was bigger) were caught at a private lake. Did you see any fish over 40 pulled through the ice from a public lake in NJ last year? What do my big fish from CT have to do with this contest? I think most people know I catch big fish in NJ too.

Saxmatt why must you beat your chest and tell everyone how great you are you might be good at Ice fishing but your people skills suck it's all about you how about you share what you know instead of telling us you must be doing something wroung and yea buddy I will be fishing my pink tip ups again this year for my Daugther and yes I wear pink underware to good luck this year hope you catch the big one be safe

[saxmatt]

Ha, I thought I'd spice up the thread with a little trash talk :D Forgot about the pink tipup thread. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, I was just doing a little ball busting but I only fished with you twice so I guess I don't know you well enough to do that. Good luck on the private lake this year, there are definitely some nice ones in there.

[Mikey topaz]

😘

[kmaty]

To add to mr. Getanets advice i am on theother hand a jiging fanatic my set up is a 5ft st croix with a small spinning reel to match. I will typically buy line made by trilene or p line that makes a special mono that dosnt freeze up as fast. I usually use all types of tiny jigs up to 1/16-1/32oz and there's a ton of different types these usually produce the pan fish along with your occasional large mouth pickerl and other bigger fish. There's also the ice rapala witch over the last two yrs have become a absolute favorite! When jiging its good to tip the jig with some type of grub. mousies are one of the most popular there's also wax worms meal worms butter worms and maggots. Jigin defiantly gives up more action and is good to keep busy imo. if anyone has any questions on jiging the ice more id be happy to help if i can. Crappies and perch are my winter time favorites. You can catch up and over 5o or even a hundred on a good day!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Thanx for the input so far fellaz. Remember the more people that join, the bigger the POT gets. Let's go GUYZ and GALZ. If you know someone that lives for ICE FISHING have them join the fun. Weather is looking quite chilly in the north country after this silly heat wave passes. All you gotta do to win is drill a hole, set your bait, and catch something BIG. Plenty of categories out there for every angler to enjoy. Got a couple buddies working on prize donations as well. I have a good hunch that there will be way more PRIZES than what I originally posted.

Got one donation in already and there's not even safe ice yet. Gwl2oneida was kind enough to donate a hand auger. Thanx buddy! You are the man! We the people of the HARDWATER definatley appreciate it! YOU DA MAN!!!

Let's keep it clean boyz, we'll not too clean, LOL!!! Fingers crossed for safe early ICE! FLAGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!:D

Great post Dale. You forgot the most important piece of equipment though: a pair of ice picks. You can get them for $5 and they'll save your life. I wear them around my neck when ice is thin and have them in my pocket even when the ice is thick. A spud bar for testing the ice is also important. Ice can go from 4" to 1" very quick and if you're not testing it you can go for a swim. It's also good to have some warm clothes in the car in case you do fall in. Carrying ropes and something that floats in your sled around first and last ice is also a good idea.

[gwl2oneida]

8" strikemaster mora is on its way from the wonderful world of cabelas.

Thanks for having my back Matt and keeping safety at the fore front but I did mention them at the end of the first really long paragraph! Figured save the most important for last!!! I nearly drowned once and never go on the ice without them! Stupidity nearly cost me my life! BIG BAITS=BIG FISH;)

Well you can BUT you have to get off your AZZes and get out there!
As you see there a few of us who are still out there in the cold windy nasty weather catching those beautiful fish!
You have to put the time in with the right techniques in order to catch these fish!

[saxmatt]

Oops, I missed that Dale. Again, great tips and post. You're giving away my secrets in your last post though with your big bait and getting off your lazy asses comments ;) Looking forward to hitting the ice with you this season. I want to pull another big one out of the spot where you fell in. :cool:

Just got a package with 3 Heritage laker tip ups in black and a pair of Muck boots to keep my feet cozy and warm during this years ICE season. What a day? Now we just need some Arctic weather to come down from Canada! LOL! I say the ICE is about 3 weeks away in NJ, lets keep our fingers crossed. Do your ritualistic ICE-DANCE if you have to.

Looks like we have a good sized party going so far MANIACS! Please reach out to the people you know and see who else may have some interest. Theres plenty of room for more anglers. The more the MERRIER! If you have friends that aren't members of the site have them join and get in on the action.

Water temps are in the mid to low 30's on most of the northern NJ lakes already which means it won't take much for lakes to lock up. It's almost time!!! If your reading this thread it means you must have some interest in the contest. Why not get in on the action? You gotta be in it to win it! This is a contest that anyone can win and there's categories for all to enjoy. If anyone has any questions please feel free to PM me.

Remember guys the more anglers that get involved the bigger the pot gets. If you have friends that might be interested sign em up to the site and have them get "IN" on the action. Don't be shy! We don't bite! Like I said this contest is for everyone. See you "MANIACS" out there very, very soon.

YEA BUDDY!!!!! FLAG!!!!!!!!!:D

[FASTEDDIE29]

Just got home from my yearly ice hunt. Drove around for a good portion of the day to find minimal ice on the large bodies of water. But, found some nice little ponds and lakes with about an inch of ice or so. Almost there, so close. After this weekends heatwave we should be on very, very soon. Took a look at a few spots with Mikey Topaz and threw boulders through most of the ice that had formed on the shallow coves at Hopatcong. It's a normal year here in NJ, be patient, it will come!

On another note I went to Dow's on Lake Hopatcong to pick up the beautiful Tip ups that Bunker Dunker generously donated. Thanx again buddy! You are the MAN! Very nice set of 5!

Laurie from Dow's on LH was kind and generous as well. She donated a 40 gift card to the shop. It's a beautiful thing. Laurie if you read this, thank you so very much! We truly appreciate it. Looks like the contest is really taking shape guyz and galz! See you out there MANIACS!!!!!

Thanx Jim! Hahaha, I really hope that nobody follows my friends or my lead by going on ice that thin. It's just not the right thing to do. If you chose to venture out on thin ice please make sure you have all the proper safety gear and never go out alone. Gotta be out there to get em! We caught some fish 2 days I a row. Off to a great start!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Had the pleasure of getting out again with Mikey and Seth today. Nice brisk day to be out on the ice. The ice fishing face tan is looking good. We had a so so jig bite with the Perch and 1 little Crappie. Slow day overall until Seth got a flag. Lines peeling off nice and slow and Seth stayed calm and poised. He sets the hook and WHAMMO. Nice battle with a bruiser Pike that measured 35 1/2 inches. This would be Seths very first Pike and a PB all at the same time. And, we have a nice entry going up in the Pike category. YEA BUDDY! What a start to the season. Congrats on your first Seth! It was a pleasure helping you ICE that pig Pike. ITS GOOOOOOOOOO TIME!!!!

[gwl2oneida]

Big thanks to Mikey and Eddie for that fish. Good coaching landed that fish.

[UglyStick]

Great job guys - beautiful fish - how much ice was there?

[bunker dunker]

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great day,great company and a great fish.i'm jealous!!

[Jigman13]

Sweet fish dude! Nice way to start the ice season!

[gwl2oneida]

Thanks guys, we had 3" of ice.

[saxmatt]

Nice job guys! Game on! I walked on water over an hour south of there today. Lots of ice but the wind kept the wider spots open. Once the wind dies down everything should lock up. Any ice that froze 2 nights ago will be safe this weekend but because of the wind the lakes froze weird. Some open water spots froze this morning so this weekend you could go from 3-4" to 1-2" in a few steps. If you guys go out bring a spud bar, ice picks, rope, and wear a suit that floats or wear a life jacket.

[FASTEDDIE29]

The ice is not at a comfortable thickness for most people as of right now. Take Matts advice and please be careful out there. Do not go alone, make sure you have all the proper safety gear as mentioned. This game is not a joke. Be safe! See you ladies and gents out there soon.

Alright MANIACS! It's pretty much go time this weekend. Anyone else looking to join? The deadline is tomorrow at midnight. If your not "IN" by then, well, you get zero. Don't forget to post your entries on this page and make sure you have the tourney card, nice big tape measure and the 2 photos required.

NO PRIVATE LAKES!!!!!

FLAGGGGGGGG!!!!!:D

[Mikey topaz]

[lennysky]

Eddie, please put me in for the contest. Thank you. What's needed for entry?

QUOTE=FASTEDDIE29;383654]Tis the season………………………………to pull some fish through some icy NJ holes. In the spirit of the off season as some "ANGLERS" like to call it, we the members of NJFISHING.COM are going to have a little contest. I'm not sure how these so called "ANGLERS" fish from April-October and then call it quits. Especially when there's fish to catch all year round in our great little state. This contest will begin as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe ice in NJ. The contest ends March 21st at midnight. The contest will be 20 bucks per man. If you know me hand me the money. If not, we'll set something up via Paypal or you can just send me a check in the mail. There will be 5 categories and they are as follows.

Category 1 - Large and Smallmouth Bass
Category 2 - Pickeral
Category 3 - Pike
Category 4 - Walleye
Category 5 - Perch and Crappie

There will be 1 winner for each category. The biggest fish entered in each category "WINS"! The angler with the most entries in the most categories will get a "BONUS PRIZE"! That's for the angler that catches alot of fish but never seems to get the biggest one. There will be "CASH" prizes for the top fish in each category.

IF YOU WANT TO BE "IN" THIS CONTEST I NEED YOU TO POST ON THIS THREAD THAT YOU ARE
…………..." IN "…………...
RULES -

You "MUST" be a NJFISHING.COM member to enter the contest. This means you "LURKERS" out there need to join the site or well, you get "ZERO"! It's not going to hurt to become a member so do it………………………... "NOW"!

Your entry/ fish "MUST" be caught in NJ. This includes Greenwood Lake and the Delaware River. No out of state fish will be excepted. If your where-a-bouts are questionable you will go in front of the committee. "TRUST ME" you don't want that to happen.

"NO PRIVATE LAKES", "PUBLIC LAKES ONLY"! This means you "HACKS" that fish your backyards every season don't really stand a chance, LMAO!!!!! "HACKS"!!!

You "MUST" provide a pic of your fish next to a "TAPE MEASURE". A real "TAPE MEASURE" like the ones purchased from Home Depot, Lowes or manly stores. "No" paper tapes, "NO" tapes from your dry cleaner or tailor. This is important. If we can't read the numbers on your "TAPE MEASURE", you are "SCREWED"!

There will be a "MYSTERY" item that you must include in your pic in order for your entry to count. Make sure you have this item on you at all times. No "MYSTERY" item in the pic, UH OH, guess what? Your entry will not count. You'll be "SCREWED" again!

The "MYSTERY" item will be available on December 20, 2014.

Here's how to enter your pics. Place the fish on the ice gently next to the "TAPE MEASURE" with the " MYSTERY" item. Take a pic. Then take your fancy digital camera or phone and take a "SELFIE" of you on the Ice with the fish. A little background doesn't hurt. DO NOT SPOT BURN! I recognize alot of bushes and trees on NJ lakes and ponds so show me and the committee something in the background.

Post your entry on this thread for all of us "ICE MANIACS" to see! Please be sure to have nice clear pics of your entry!

Deadline to get "IN" this contest will be Friday January 9th. If your not on the list by January 9th, well, your not in the contest. No exceptions!!

Contest runs as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe Ice in NJ. Contest is over at midnight of March 21, 2015. No entries will be excepted after this deadline

Those are the rules plain and simple. If I forgot anything hopefully the "COMMITTEE" will chime in and pick up where I left off. There will be other prizes donated along the way so sign up to NJFISHING.COM now. You don't want to miss this one. There's going to be prizes galore. Hopefully some of the kind sponsors will throw us a prize or 2. This is going to be a fun contest made for the members of NJFISHING.COM by the members of NJFISHING.COM. No "DRAMA" will be excepted in this contest. Trash talk on the other hand is greatly appreciated. Don't be scared to "STIR THE POT", just make sure you do it in a respectful manner, LMFAO!!!!!! See you "MANIACS" out there. Be safe. Beware of thin Ice.

What's this Mystery Item needed in the picture? Thank you
QUOTE=FASTEDDIE29;383654]Tis the season………………………………to pull some
fish through some icy NJ holes. In the spirit of the off season as some "ANGLERS" like to call it, we the members of NJFISHING.COM are going to have a little contest. I'm not sure how these so called "ANGLERS" fish from April-October and then call it quits. Especially when there's fish to catch all year round in our great little state. This contest will begin as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe ice in NJ. The contest ends March 21st at midnight. The contest will be 20 bucks per man. If you know me hand me the money. If not, we'll set something up via Paypal or you can just send me a check in the mail. There will be 5 categories and they are as follows.

Category 1 - Large and Smallmouth Bass
Category 2 - Pickeral
Category 3 - Pike
Category 4 - Walleye
Category 5 - Perch and Crappie

There will be 1 winner for each category. The biggest fish entered in each category "WINS"! The angler with the most entries in the most categories will get a "BONUS PRIZE"! That's for the angler that catches alot of fish but never seems to get the biggest one. There will be "CASH" prizes for the top fish in each category.

IF YOU WANT TO BE "IN" THIS CONTEST I NEED YOU TO POST ON THIS THREAD THAT YOU ARE
…………..." IN "…………...
RULES -

You "MUST" be a NJFISHING.COM member to enter the contest. This means you "LURKERS" out there need to join the site or well, you get "ZERO"! It's not going to hurt to become a member so do it………………………... "NOW"!

Your entry/ fish "MUST" be caught in NJ. This includes Greenwood Lake and the Delaware River. No out of state fish will be excepted. If your where-a-bouts are questionable you will go in front of the committee. "TRUST ME" you don't want that to happen.

"NO PRIVATE LAKES", "PUBLIC LAKES ONLY"! This means you "HACKS" that fish your backyards every season don't really stand a chance, LMAO!!!!! "HACKS"!!!

You "MUST" provide a pic of your fish next to a "TAPE MEASURE". A real "TAPE MEASURE" like the ones purchased from Home Depot, Lowes or manly stores. "No" paper tapes, "NO" tapes from your dry cleaner or tailor. This is important. If we can't read the numbers on your "TAPE MEASURE", you are "SCREWED"!

There will be a "MYSTERY" item that you must include in your pic in order for your entry to count. Make sure you have this item on you at all times. No "MYSTERY" item in the pic, UH OH, guess what? Your entry will not count. You'll be "SCREWED" again!

The "MYSTERY" item will be available on December 20, 2014.

Here's how to enter your pics. Place the fish on the ice gently next to the "TAPE MEASURE" with the " MYSTERY" item. Take a pic. Then take your fancy digital camera or phone and take a "SELFIE" of you on the Ice with the fish. A little background doesn't hurt. DO NOT SPOT BURN! I recognize alot of bushes and trees on NJ lakes and ponds so show me and the committee something in the background.

Post your entry on this thread for all of us "ICE MANIACS" to see! Please be sure to have nice clear pics of your entry!

Deadline to get "IN" this contest will be Friday January 9th. If your not on the list by January 9th, well, your not in the contest. No exceptions!!

Contest runs as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe Ice in NJ. Contest is over at midnight of March 21, 2015. No entries will be excepted after this deadline

Those are the rules plain and simple. If I forgot anything hopefully the "COMMITTEE" will chime in and pick up where I left off. There will be other prizes donated along the way so sign up to NJFISHING.COM now. You don't want to miss this one. There's going to be prizes galore. Hopefully some of the kind sponsors will throw us a prize or 2. This is going to be a fun contest made for the members of NJFISHING.COM by the members of NJFISHING.COM. No "DRAMA" will be excepted in this contest. Trash talk on the other hand is greatly appreciated. Don't be scared to "STIR THE POT", just make sure you do it in a respectful manner, LMFAO!!!!!! See you "MANIACS" out there. Be safe. Beware of thin Ice.

Guyz and galz, this is the MYSTERY ITEM that you need to include in your fish entry pics. Please make sure you have this in at least 1 pic with a ruler showing the fishes length.

Way to get em Mikey...Nicely Done.

Hope you guys all had a great day out there and sorry I missed catching up with you today. Family duties prevail.

[FASTEDDIE29]

Also, what qualifies as a public water? I fish many large community lakes such as White Measow Lake in Rockaway.

No private lakes. Public access lakes only. Lakes listed as places to fish on the Fish and game website. No permit lakes. I would love to catch some of the pickerel, bass and walleye that are in Whit Meadow lake. Unfortunately I do not know anyone who lives there. This lake is a NO, NO!

[lennysky]

I own a house on white meadow but hate to disappoint you. Walleyes is Avery elusive there. Mostly bass and perch. Sometimes pickerel. Trout in the spring is good as are hybrids.

[Jigman13]

A yellow perch entry! Just shy of 14"... 13 7/8??? Had a shorter but fatter one, too. Both inhaled large shiners!

[gwl2oneida]

Nice perch Jeremy! Totally under appreciated species. It's gonna be tough to chase that one down.

a monster what????

sucks regardless, dude... sorry to hear that. I heard of another monster that was lost at the hole today, too... apparently they couldnt get it through the 8" hole :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Jigman13]

Largemouth entry...

20" largemouth caught in CNJ... it was pretty awesome. She circled the hole like a tuna doing death circles lol... great day today with Dale, JimmyLiveBait, and Dale's daughter, Kelly.

[liveitup1.75liter]

20+

[GetANet]

20+ ????? can't see it too good in the pic, 20 inches or more???

[FASTEDDIE29]

Alright guys, glad to see some quality fish on the board. Way to catch em up. Some beauties without a doubt. Keep em coming!

When measuring these fish make sure your measuring with the mouth closed. Anyone can open a bass's mouth and get an extra inch out of the fish. If this was the case my LM would be 21.5 inches instead of the 20.25 I put it in as. Plenty of time to catch bigger species. GOOD LUCK!!!!!:D

Exactly! If you don't have a good ruler, tape measure, take your arse to your local hardware store and get one. Get a cheap Lufkin from the big box store, I don't care, I want to see the damn numbers on the tape.

P.S. Take the paper tape from the damn dry cleaner, tailor and throw that crap in the garbage!!!

PEACE my BROTHERS!!!:)

Get your Money in!!!! NOT COOL to enter and then if you don't catch anything don't pay!!!!
If YOU WON.....You would not be happy if somebody did it to you right???

Make the call Get er' Done BOYZ!!!!

There should be a deadline for payment, otherwise we'll have people pay once they get a big fish an think they have a shot at a prize, and not pay if they don't catch anything. Not cool.

[Jigman13]

I agree on a payment deadline, Eddie. Lots of unpaids on that list.

[Andrushkin33]

Being one of the non payment types I agree on the deadline.

Additional motivation to meet up with Eddie since I been slacking lately

Dale, I think Kmaty and his friend Bridge Addix are from your area. Thanx for trying to help out dude. It's been hard work for me to get the 20's from people, keep the contest organized, work, fish and do the family thing all at the same time. Great contest so far indeed. Little bit more time left to get out there and catch em up. Look out for a heat wave around March 9th. I have a feeling this ice is going to melt quick believe it or not. Especially south of 78. POOF, and then there was open water. See you out there Satuday my brotha from anotha!!!

[Andrushkin33]

Dale,

If for some strange reason I will not make it out to Spruce this weekend I will take you up on your offer and meet up with you. I am at Linden but go to Farrington often and that's not far away from you.

Andre

[GetANet]

That would be great Andre, wanna get everyone paid and squared away!!!
These Contests are a lot of fun so let's keep them that way so everyone who owes Please let's get it wrapped up! There is a lot of time and effort invested in these contests for several people let's show them that we appreciate all the hard work they do to keep these things organized and running and most of all FUN!!!!!
