State Vs State - Episode 5 2024
FishinDaddy reply :
Yep it's that time of year again.
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 later this year and going to run through the middle of June.
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 participate in the "get your but kicked by Dwight," tournament. If you play, you will find out who he is and how bad you suck.
This contest will run from daylight on April 15th through dark on June 19th. Anyone who has posted to this thread by midnight on April 14th is eligible to play.
Prizes to be determined at a later date.
RULES
1. This is for FUN...
2. There are 3 classes this year. Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted. You must have submitted your entry prior to midnight April 14, 2013.
3. This contest runs from daybreak on April 15th, 2013 to sunset on June 19, 2013.
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
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 20th, 2013.
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 April 14th.
Directors Note-----Have fun, catch fish, and post your results......

Me too.
A-Jay reply :
Oh wait a minute the mid-April start date could be controversial.
I seem to remember a good number of Big smb caught on Lake Erie often come very early in the month of April.
We might actually have a chance this year . . . . .
Fingers crossed.

Love the LM, SM and Spot catagories. It gives the rest of us a shot when those guys up north are slaying giant SMs.

Hey J can I be re-qualified if I get you to spend a little boat time in the starcraft?
J Francho reply :
Maybe, lol. Gotta get you over to a certain creek mouth on the east side as well.

Maybe yalls ice will melt before the competition starts.
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
Oh, I'm ice-free currently. I believe by next weekend the water will finally be in the 40's.
While I like the swimbait bite, I'm not opposed to throwing whatever is necessary for a big bite. 
I do like to wreck stuff with a jig rod too. LOL
BridgerM reply :
Im in too. Utah record is 10lb 2oz and im reading Bill Murphy. Sounds like some fun!
senile1 reply :
I propose an additional rule.
Rule 4.a.) One treble hook tied to line only. No lure. Line must be 2 lb test or less. Applies to anyone named Dwight.

My plan was for Dwight to handle the line by hand. We don't want him to have an unfair advantage.

There is none -
However a modest donation to "The President of the Scrounga Club" would certainly be appreciated.

For deep & Speedbead no swimbaits allowed. Unfair advantage, rule 12b.
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
LOL, how about you don't throw jerkbaits and I'll lay off the swimbaits....
Yeah, that's what I thought.

I agree that some claims can seem "a bit off," but in this contest, the fish I have seen posted have definitely looked legit. Heck, I caught a decent fish a couple of years ago and didn't have a scale. I posted the picture for grins but told everyone it didn't count because I didn't have my scale. I think the honor system has worked well in this contest since its ***.

I just went back and looked at last year's contest. Shane J had a New Hampshire largemouth just over 86 percent of the state record, and of course Dwight had a smallie that was at 81.3 percent.
BronzeChaser reply :
I'll give it a shot. My buddy caught a 7 1/2 lb smallie out of a lake we fish all the time last fall, only a 1/2 pound off the record for maine. so maybe I have a shot haha

i agree somewhat...Just because this is a classy site doesn't mean people don't stretch about the weights. There are enough threads and reports on this site to prove the point. I just think, what in the world could possibly be the downside of people including the weight on the scale to verify the fish? In every state vs state contest, there are a few that interesting. Last of all Dwight cheats. He keeps a livewell at home and feeds three fish that are in the 5, 6, and 7 pound range and takes them on field trips to the lake to take their picture and then takes them back home. A cheater i tell you.
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
I've seen this livewell.
He has more than three fish.

See rule 6.
J Francho reply :
Shimmy, you know I will be on top of any questionable post. It's for fun anyway. Last year, I caught a 80 percenter outside the time limits. It's all good. We know who the big fish guys are.

A. Biggest fish I have seen come on a jerkbait is 9.25, that isnt enough to outdo Dwight as far as percentages go...
B. Thats a long drive
C. I am fishing in the pink shirt every chance I get.
Biggest Pink shirt fish this year.... And it wouldn't even be close at 45%(8.56/19.1)
grampa1114 reply :
Mass is a tough record to come close to but.........I'll give it a whirl....
Shane J reply :
Hopefully, this will be the year of the 101% NH largemouth! Three things are for certain... 1) If I post a fish, it will be caught on a Rage Tail 2) If I post a fish, it will be a new NH PB for me, and 3) It will be fun, as usual, seeing all the great catches from all over. Good luck, everybody!
Shane J reply :
Oh, and I'll throw this out there. I'll send 5 packs of any of the Rage Tail baits, in any color, any combination to the winner of this thing, and make it 10 if the winning fish was caught on a Rage Tail bait. That goes for second place if I happen to take it!

Now if you could talk Mr Parks into a Rage Tail Jerkbait I would be all over it.

A pink shirt & a pair of pink pants might have put you at 90% You just need to expand your wardrobe.
Shane J reply :
We're gonna get you to catch some of those monster smallies on a Pearl Rage Grub, or maybe a Menace.
Scorcher214 reply :
Alright, I'll give this a whirl. Michigan's LMB record is only 11-15 small mouth is 9-4. Gotta be a 9lb smallie in St.Clair somewhere...

Hey FishinDaddy,
Does this need to be pinned for the duration of the contest? Also, will you be starting a thread for the recording of our "conquests" or will we just use this one?
I PM'd you also.
