I'd suggest an on line all season format. C&R. Photo or SB member witness as entry (no dead fish shots). Curved fork length and girth. One fish a month, May through Nov. You can enter a larger fish as many times a month as you want, but at the end of the month only your largest counts. The winner is the guy with the largest 6 fish (1 per month) length/girth total. Or we could do a point system, 3 points for largest in a month, then 2, then 1 for the guy with the third largest, and the winner would be the guy with the most points at the end of the season. He gets a plaque. Everybody who entered fish gets a ticket for each month entered (6 max), then they all go in a raffle for donated prizes during a party at the end of the season.
I think this format would encourage people to fish through the season, and would reward consistency as well as quality.
