I think he means use a camera(not your cell phone) to take a picture of the fish ,and include your phone in the picture with the tournament tag shown on the screen.

Ahhhhhh
I see
I guess I failed communication class

thank you Andy for speaking in single syllables in Bruce speak

You could also print the tag ahead of time and show it in the picture. Which might be tough in a wetsuit... The only obvious solution is to get temporary tattoos made for each round and put it on your bicep... then flex for the photo!

As a thought, use video mode on your cell phone. Video the tag, pan over to the striper then pan to the mug and say cheese. Afterwards upload to a private youtube account.
Unfortunately this is not a rule.

(If I missed this in the rules, i apologize):

*When will results from the weekend be posted?
*Are the results viewable by anyone or just those registered in the tourny?

Anytime Bruce, I know your teknolijcalee challenged!

I'm thinking about joining, so if anyone needs a partner let me know

Dave, maybe this was already asked, but is the cow hunt separate for shore and boat anglers? Or are they both, shore and boat, competing against one another.

Thanks for all your hard work on this.

Dave, due to some shoulder surgery I wont be able to fish until early July, but would like to fill in as an alternate if needed when I return. Do I need to register the same as someone fishing start to finish, or is there a different protcol? I know you are busy, so if anyone wants to chime in if they know, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Man, I have neglected this post!

OK. The only way to use your phone to store the tag is to save it, bring the TAG up on your screen and photograph it in the shot with your fish and tape. But you need a second camera or phone. No watermarks.

Videos are eligible for entry RSTICKET.

Printing the TAG is strongly encouraged, it's just better and shows up better in the photos. I would recommend printing 5-6 and storing your tag in a heavy-duty Ziploc or some leader wallets, like the ones made by MAK have a waterproof zipper on each page, just slide the TAG in there and it will be safe.

As for posting the results and who can see them. Entries will be posted as they come in and they will be public. Final results will be posted every Monday morning.

Massbassman - The signup deadline is July 31 for teams and Sept 12 for individuals so you can sign up anytime pretty much. As for fishing as an alternate--if a team needs an alternate and they select you, that's fine, no need to register, but you won't be eligible for any prizes if you don't.

Thanks Dave!

Great job putting this together Dave, it has to be one big pain in the ass organizing this and dealing with all the questions/problems. Thank you, I know I'm looking forward to it.

[Canalman]

I'm a sick man, because I enjoy it. At least so far

Anyone who's signed up, I sent out an email about 20 minutes ago with information about submitting your catch and downloading this week's TAG. If you didn't get it check your SPAM folder and if you still don't see it or if you have any trouble retrieving the TAG, PM me here, message me on Facebook or email me dave(at)gotight.net

Lines in at 5:30 tomorrow morning... I'm getting excited!

ALSO, anyone with kids who like to fish, sign them up it's FREE and I'm working out the details on some really awesome prizes. We need more kids to fall in love with fishing or it's going to disappear when we're all gone and our children will get sucked into a technology coma and come out the other end 45 years old, 450 pounds and with the complexion of a ball of pizza dough!
