Link for license wasn't good...this one works

I have a couple of suggestions......Are you sure you want to do weight and not length...trying to keep them alive in the cold and then hiking a bucket of water across the ice to get them weighed in could result in a dead fish....especially if you get a really big pickerel or Bass.....maybe even do the Weight/Girth formula for each species.

What happens if I get a pike? Supposedly there are Pike and Muskie in that reservior. I would structure the awards more like

Biggest Bass (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Biggest Pickerel (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Biggest Crappie (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Biggest Perch (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Biggest Pike (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Biggest Muskie (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
****I doubt you'll ever give a 2nd prize for the last 2 but might as well offer it for consistency****

also one angler can only win 1 prize in a category, in other words if 1 angler has the 3 biggest Largemouth he can only get 1st prize, not all 3

Just some suggestions....you can do with them as you wish
