RULES
1. This is for FUN...
2. There are 2 divisions. Largemouth and Smallmouth. You must declare that you are fishing one or both before March 1, on this thread.
3. This contest runs from daybreak on March 1, 2008 to sunset on May 15, 2008.
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.
5. Scoring of the fish shall be completed as follows:
Example
fish weight = 10.5 lbs (my pb)
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. 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 are larger. All fish must be submitted before 7 am on May 16, 2008.
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 best Avid look-a-like photo prior to March 1. You may play without a look-a-like photo, but you will be penalized 5 points. Avid is awarded 1 bonus point, just because he is Avid.
8. I will start a new thread on March 1 with the official list of competitors.
Directors Note-----Have fun, catch fish, and post your results......
This is the current list of competitors and will be updated as new entries arrive. If I have missed your entry please PM me. The "B/P" refers to bonus and penalty. Please read the above rule #7 again.

Anyone that has seen a picture avid has posted
of his beautiful wife would realize that NO ONE
that pretty and smart would be married to him!

QuoteANY NEW ENTRIES TO BE POSTED HERE!KU, your in.
Hold on!!!!! ..... I need to make it official with the picture. I can't take that 5 point deduction ;D ;D ;D
Now it's official
Sorry guys, as mentioned earlier, Dirk and I cannot play as we have ice up here. If it was run during a time of year we could play too, that would be great but,....I ain't ice fishin',lol.
F-daddy, Did you want the old thread locked or pulled? We can do either for you.
One messed up picture is as good as any!

That's my point, we'll just have fish starting to move when it ends.
May 15th is the end, not the beginning.

UH OH!
Competing against Fourbizz is bad enough, but now KU_Bassmaster.
There's only one big bass in all of Kansas and KU caught her TWICE!
LBH,
just lock that old thread. Me might need to refer back to some of the pre-tourney smack talk when this is done.
If everyone plays together well during this one, maybe we can do it again in Aug/Sep when we have 90* water and y'all have the advantage.
Count me in. Largemouth and spotted too if they count.

FD- Moved and locked
We aren't looking for the "advantage" , we just wish it was held when everyone can play We are frozen in up here.
pond hopper,
That is the deepest i have ever seen anybody wade fish. You are up to your chin. ;D
I may not catch anything, but I got confidence. Water is still pretty cold in Nova and pre-spawn probably won't start til' early-mid April here. But I will work that jig/dropshot/and deep crank to try and find one of these largies in a wintering hole. Wicked cold fronts here lately, snow, rain, and sleet yesterday and again tonight.
Anyway I'm in. Here's my contribution and dedication to the man AVID!
Oh yea, put me down for largemouth. Smallmouth bite is non-existent right now in this area.
Hey count me in the largemouth side of it
I am from kentucky
FishinDaddy, I need my five points back. There are some good fishermen in this contest and I"m going to need all the help I can get. This picture doesn't do Avid justice, but it will have to do.
The fish is too big, the glasses too small and the picture too clear.

I'm posting Tin's and my own entry....
TIN

Thanks Matt
I didn't have an Avid stly pic so I just took one. That beauty was 48" long, but only weighed 2 pounds. Nice to sleep on though.
Great idea FD.Count me in.

so fishin daddy, this still confuses me, if the contest ends on may 15, then why do you say that all fish must be submitted before april 16?
i think it was a just a typo and he ment may 16
OK, dsa. I think all the typo's have been corrected. You are borderline "unsportsmanlike". In the future don't point out all of the directors errors before the tourney starts...........it's just plain irritating..

Ha Ha (Put in Nelson's voice from the Simpsons) LOL
Apparently, you are the only one
No I'm the one you should be laughing at, she is at the Classic working her sponsors booth and I'm stuck in 6" of snow and still have a Bussiness Math exam at noon.

i hope you are not serious because that would be "unsportsmanlike" of you. i was honestly confused, and i wanted some clarification. i was not trying to get on your case for making a typo.
It's all good dave. I was just messing with you. See above rule #1.
i want to be in for both sides. but i don't understand the look a like part of it. what do i need to do?
"post your best Avid look a like photo..(Ray Charles glasses or shadowy self portrait or just plain fuzzy pic)"
This was the original definition of the entry fee. We have a crusty old guy, legend really, who signature is these HUGE sunglasses and really bad photos. They are usually taken with a camera phone, grainy, out of focus, shadows over his face....post your worst photo of you and a fish and you will probably qualify.
I do not recall entering this contest... :-?
QuoteIt's all good dave. I was just messing with you. See above rule #1.
ok good. i figured you were messin'.
I am in for the large mouth bass. Here is my contribution.
Id like to join this. Large mouth division. my pic is my avatar.
Im in for both categories.
steve, you're ineligible
im just kidding, but i dont think you can win anything for netting my fish....
Hmmm......, seems to me that currently you dont have a net. :'(
I know, I figure I'll just leave it with you since you are the one that always needs to get it
count me in for LMB, here is my entry fee
actually forget it, i forgot i have no public waters that are worth my while for this, i only fish private stock tanks and golf course tanks....thanks anyway!
Cliff
Here's my entry fee
here is my only bad quality picture. but i'm in for both
I'm in! Representin' the Commonwealth in the LMB division! None of my pics could do the venerable Avid any justice whatsoever, but I found one that might work! Look out...we'll be posting soon ! Tight Lines...
BOOYAH!! Put me on "Team Northeast"
You need another pic. The shades are perfect and the lighting is pretty cool, but the bass is way too big!
8-)
Yeah... I'll play. Smallmouth for me.
I don't have an true "avid style," pic so I used a little cut and paste license... don't want to start off with a penalty. (and had to get the blur just right)
Here's my official entry photo:
RW great pic! Let me guess, the bass was all washed out from catching them in the depths, you spread Desitin all over your face to avoid glare, and you were wearing a white snowmobile suit while fishing in a blizzard.
:
Oops!
It must be magic, I hope it reappears!
8-)
Heeeey,..must be magic, there it is

LMAO
LM division.
raaawwwwrrrrr I don't have an avid pic, is this still good enough? ;D
Guys most of you do not seem to get that the photo must be taken avid style. Post the worst self taken photo you have....
anyway count me in guys....
HERES HOW AN AVID PIC IS DONE!!!!
You're missing the dark, oversized shades! :
Well, upon further review and after actually reading the rules , your picture qualifies.
Nice pic!
8-)
Oh yeah.... i forgot im fishing for Largemouth Bass.
Also I find it odd avid is not posting in this thread. I would expect he would have some very funny things to say about our avid style pictures......
QuoteBOOYAH!! Put me on "Team Northeast"
...i wear my suuuuunglasses at night...
HAH! im not the only one with a giant fish pillow, nuclearpigeon has one too
im in for both largemouth and smallmouth
aaron
I'm in for LMB!
QuoteOh yeah.... i forgot im fishing for Largemouth Bass.Also I find it odd avid is not posting in this thread. I would expect he would have some very funny things to say about our avid style pictures......
I think he got a thorn in his side and is sitting out for a while.
I thought avid meant enthusiastic
Though I believe this should be good for my entry fee
This was taken 5 minutes after my buddy caught a 6lb LMB about 20 feet from me!
"meh its a bass"
Shouldn't a fish be held close to the body or arm...
Too many of these put the fish as close to the camera as possible pictures.
Post length and Girth if possible?

That's how a 3 turns into "about 6".

I always hold my fish out just because it makes for a GREAT photo. However I am always honest with the REAL weight of the fish..
Example... This bass was only 3LBS 10 OZ. When I showed this fish to a few of my fishing buddies on the digital camera they guessed it was a 5 LBER.
Sign me up for LMB from Texas. Sounds like fun!
Got a problem, dont have any good "avid pics on camera, and the lakes here are very frozen and will be until after the start of the competition on March 1. Is the entry fee due by then, and can i use a picture that i can take now without a fish.
Second request. Please remove my name from the list of participants. My first request was deleted. Avid has elected to no longer be a member of this site. I have elected not to participate in this contest.
You think you got it bad. Heck, I never even entered the d**n thing and I'm listed as a participant.
I think they are confusing you what that Walnuts Character
Sorry guys, I have had the flu for the last few days and everything is a little fuzzy. I think I have all the new entries included and all the errors corrected..
Lee
Hey, FishinDaddy, I wondered where you had been. BTW, I provided a picture to get my 5 points back. I think another person or two provided pictures also. I hope you're feeling better.
I'm in for LMB.
Here's my pic... Largemouth Div.
Nice fish!
8-)
Fishindaddy, please add me to the list. I modified my first post on page 2 to include the type bass. I left it off the original post. Is my picture fuzzy enough :-/.
QuoteHere's my pic... Largemouth Div.

Glad this compitition starts tomorrow.
Tonight/Tomorrow's Forcast:

I need a mod to lock this thread after midnight tonight pacific standard time. Thanks
FD
I'm in if its not to late. Only have one pic on this computer though. So this is the best I can do. A real crappy picture of an almost 5.
So can you only get points on one fish or is it combined on all the fish you catch?

The only problem is that the winds on both lakes are supposed to be 20 to 30 mph. Hope you bring your surf board. ;D
Add me to the Largemouth category. I'm game!
Also, is everyone working on the 'honor system' here? I'll have a date stamp on my pics, but how do we know that no one is digging up 5 year old pics?
Count me in too for the smallmouth. Here is my pic. I should be fishing by April.
I'm in for the large mouth side. now all i have to do i figur out how to post a pic.... 8-)
