Unfortunatly, I think you need to make a distinction here, John. I think there are two options.
Option #1 is that there is a prize of relatively low value...in other words something that any person holding down a job could easily buy on thier own without stretching the budget too far. If you do that, I think it's likely that nobody would cheat and you could have a tournament that was based on catch and release. You could base this on pictures, pictures with digital scale numbers or even the honor system.
Option #2 is when you have a decent prize. Call me a cynic, but I just don't see where in an anonymous forum somebody doesn't cheat to win a decent prize. I think with a decent prize you have to start killing fish and getting official weigh in slips. Even with pictures of a digital scale, you can drop enough lead sinkers down the hatch to push you up that extra pound or two you need to beat out the current leader. As mentioned above, I just think there is a high probability you end up with a mess on your hands.
Option #1 could be work similarly to my, "What's the biggest fish you caught this year" post from Nov or Dec, except it would be ongoing from April 15 until Dec 1. Option #2, I think you end up being the clearinghouse for weigh in slips and posting the results
Count me in either way...sounds like fun. I'd mostly be in it just to see what kind of luck everybody was having...which leads me to another thought. You wouldn't have to say where you got it, would you? Maybe just what state?
