Striped-Bass.Com Tournament

[JohnR]

OK ladies and gents... I'm looking to do a Striped-Bass.Com Tourney of sorts this year (with prizes to be determined later but maybe a MagElite or Custom Rod or something like that) for members of this board. What I would like to do is a tournament where catch and release is preffered but that makes it VERY difficult to administrate. I would hate to see some individual join this tourney and enter a fictional fish or to have someone that we don't know abuse an honor system so to speak. Fish that are kept and weighed in with an official weigh slip will probably be OK but that is open to discussion too.

I'm thinking along the lines of either photo with length/girth measurements or photo with digital scale picture, signed affidavit but OBVIOUSLY this could be hard to keep legit.

Personally, I would not be able to win :'( and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& will probably be removed for entry to make it fair for everyone else :P and one would need to be a fairly regular member to enter. No tackle shops, charters or websites (sorry Juls }> )

Differentiate between boat and shore? Just bass or Blues too?

This could also happen over a course of various "meets" too but that may not be convenient for everyone too...

Whatcha all think??

Thanks,

John
