The "It's Over" late season large extravaganza begins!!!

Its Over!!!!

Here' s how to play...

1. Fish must be shore caught striped bass.

2. Mass/RI/CT/ME/NH waters only.

3. Provide sufficient proof of your catch, photo preferred...no need to kill the fish.

4. NO CHEATING...I have an internal B.S. Meter that functions flawlessly...

5. Contest ends on Thanksgiving day.

6. "Grand Champion"- Largest entry by weight shall receive a Danny Pichney Conrad SR. COPY from my stash.

7."Late Champion" category- Last fish to be entered by date shall receive a 7" Danny Pichney sand eel COPY from my stash.

Plugs awarded will be similar to those pictured below. I have black, yellow, white, and sand eel for colors.

Additionally, the newer ones I just made are closer to the original specs thanks to a trusted mentor who pointed out some flaws in my first batch. I'll get pics of the new ones up once they're clear coated.

Just use any commonly accepted form of measurment...hand scale, tape measure, formula, whatever...just try to get a pic if you can... I'm not giving away a new mercedes here, just a couple lures. "Close enough" is fine by me.

If its real close I have plenty of plugs to give out in the event of a tie.

you mean now i gotta bring a camera with me

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I love this. Nothing begs up motivation to go fish hard like the premise that there are no fish to catch.

No need to turn this into another "I'm in" thread....everyone is automatically in, just put up a fish and have fun with it...

21 posts on this thread and no fish yet? Did everyone quit? Figured Numbskull for at least a 16" fish by now...

I have some original Pickney's and he used sparkles also. (I think--I better check!). The epoxy coat actually seem better on these new ones.

Does Block Island count for the contest? I wonder if there should be a separate category considering how late the fish are out there...
