ICE is NICE!!! Who's READY???

I like the iceshanty tourney rules. We should make a tourney card and you should have to post a pic of the fish next to a tape measure with the card and another with the angler holding the fish, but no background required. No pinching the tail or using flexible tape measures that people use for their waist.

I think background is needed as proof of being caught in nj. As far as another angler needed that will create problems with people who fish alone (quick trips before after work). I'm interested either way.

I am game for sure ....Now I need to think about some contribution from my side ....

A few thoughts:
With money on the line, you gotta have some basic clear rules. This years pike-o-thon and small mouth contests are solid models for the Ice O Thon.

Anyone buying in would just have to guarantee any entry in the contest will be caught in NJ Public Waters. Greenwood and the Big D included. Private lakes wouldn't be fair.

We gotta prevent spot burning. If i see a big walleye with a background I can ID, I'm mugging that hole tomorrow! Along with 20 other dudes A good pic with a measurement and with what ever other object you guys come up with should be perfect.

The entry should have to come out of a hole. Not a body of water with ice on it.

First fish submitted in a tie wins the tie.

No one is a cheater around here. But lets hope we find one out so we can all have fun lambasting them publicly here and on every other social media outlet.

Lets hope for safe ice before Christmas again!
