I'll run it if you want, but be prepared for DQs left and right and a bunch of cry babies who's faces i will be laughing in...the participants are the ones that ruin the contest, not the guys running it.

you guys better clear it with andy and gerry because i'm not listening to any cry baby bitching...now that that's out of the way, i'll run it if no one else wants to and i can probably get some fishing gear for prizes, but no promises on short notice.

Looks like you are embracing the Eddie bluntness

andy and gerry are going to be the ones getting complained too cause i'm not dealing with babies, that's all i'm saying about it.

Just stating it was a disaster--not pointing blame.

We're competitive enough. Money muddies everything.

the easiest way is to just set up a meet and greet for LH or any easy on+off lake and have the contest the same day from sunrise to noonish. collect the money from guys who show up and pay out the same day on the spot.....

If you guys do decide you want to do more than a 1 day thing, i don't mind helping as a non involved participant. I can do the judging or handle the money if that helps. Same as Chrisper and Sir Edward I dont mind giving people the business if they decide to be whiney bitches. Think it might be smart to limit it to certain people we know wont pull any BS. Damn right we are all competitive but in the grand scheme of things I'd like to think most of us enjoy the fishing most and the money is just a fun competitive incentive. Ice fishing just isn't my thing so if you guys want to do a multi day/week thing, i dont mind helping keep shit straight.

yeah exactly, there is a big difference between being competitive and being a cry baby p.i.t.a.

I confirmed that i can get a few lures/baits from at least 2 different companies if we decide to get something going (the amount will most likely depend on how many participants we can get...it'll just be to supplement prizes, consolation prizes, etc.)

Only problem i have with a regular m&g one day contest is most of us can't keep a fish alive on the ice to weigh it in so it wouldn't be a c&r contest anymore. too many huge fish already wasted too many times all year on lake hopatcong from the KDC contests. Some guys are capable of keeping them alive to weigh in, but most are not/will not.

Another issue we might have is the round-about way we have to post pictures of a certain size now.

One way to get around the picture issue could be to utilize the facebook page! No restrictions on pictures there. Or you could have everyone send pictures to a centralized email account and the "overseer" could be in charge of them. Never been involved in any contests on the site but they seem like they could be fun despite past results.

I wonder if we could make a facebook page purely for the purpose of hosting a fishing contest...

doubt gerry would want the njf fb page taken over by a contest completely.
