STATE VS STATE ---Season 3 2011 CLOSING DATE REVISED 2024

FishinDaddy reply :

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...

Good luck to all.

Dwight Hottle reply :

I'll play.

Lucky Craft Man reply :

I'm in.

shimmy reply :

I'm in,

Just a quick note though:

1. Whoever fishes Minnesota will probably win this thing hands down! A regular 5 pound bass which is fairly easy to catch would get .61 since the state record is only 8.15. Just food for thought.

And i am going to Minnesota to fish the spring this year so just saying, i got my money on this state.

Your score is the number from the formula divided by 3. lol

A 5.1lb Smallmouth from VT would score 75.55 points

Weird but true...

I didn't play last year, though I had a smallie that went 4-4 for 51.5%. The year before was the Dwight and John show, LOL. I had 59% with a largie, and 61% with a smallie. The smallie was only good for 2nd. I think Dwight's fish was a tank, like 70%, LOL.

And I'm not bringing a FL bass to the show, 8-)

After May, it's too hot to fish in Florida and the ice is just letting out up here. Home field advantage. ;D

Shane J reply :

Count me in! I can assure you, though, that my entry won't be caught on a Megastrike bait, but the Rage Tail bait that I win with might have Megastrike attractant on it.

Dalton Tam reply :

In. time to show you guys why the Classic is here this year. Although south Louisiana and North are like two different worlds

How about reading ALL if the rules...

ctf58 reply :

I'm in just in case. Smallie is going to be a hard one. 11 lbs., 15 ozs world record smallie is from KY.

I might have to go find a Coosa Bass. Our state record is 0.53 pounds. ;D

Texasfishingtips reply :

Going to be really hard for Texas, a 5lb LMB is only 27 points. I guess thats because state record is 18.18lbs.

Hey, for the Minnesota guys, opening season is not until the 28th of May. How about we postpone the ending just one week; say june 7th? Gives the Minnesotans 3 days, and unfortunately i dont head off there till the 30th. Food for thought.

Depending on what you mean by "very" soon, you'll have to get yours through the ice. If you're wondering, the MA record is 15lbs, 8oz.

Thanks Tin! But, as i said, i don't get there till the 30th, which is closing time. And after seeing the nastiness that Dwight did on the last competition, a 5 pounder won't win it. I need a fighten chance!

South FLA reply :

Also, is a Suwannee Bass fair game? Its considered a Black Bass subspecies, so it should be along with the Spotted, Smallmouth, Redeye, Shoal, Guadalupe Bass. and Bartram's

I am considering targeting them on a trip up in N. Florida the official state record is 3.89 lbs, and my old college roommate says he can put me on them in the 2-3lb range, so if he ain't fibbing then give me the TROPHY boys!

You will need a close up side photo to prove it is a Suwannee, but it is fair game.
