  2. There will be four categories: Largest Fish, Largest Five Fish Stringer, Most Fish, and Smallest Fish.
  3. All fish (except entries for Smallest Fish) have to be at least 15"
  4. Every participant in allowed ONE (1) entry for smallest fish, so choose carefully.
  5. If I receive more than one Smallest Fish entry from one angler, I will keep the first one, and discard the other.
  6. From each region there will be a separate winner for Largest Fish, Largest Stringer, and Most Fish. If one person wins two, one of them will be awarded to the second place finisher in that category.
  7. Largest Fish, and Largest Stringer will be determined by weight.
  8. The Smallest Fish will be determined by length. And there will be one winner Nationally.
  9. I will determine the Largest Stringer using all the fish you’ve submitted throughout the tournament.
  1. Entry
  1. All entries must be submitted using the Entry Form below.
  2. All entries must be submitted via email to BragginTourney@aim.com
  3. Please head your email, "Tournament Entry."
  4. One entry per email please. This will help me organize the entries faster and easier, and at the end of the tournament, you will have the results faster.
  5. All entries must include one picture of the fish on an accurate measuring device, A slip of paper including the date the fish was caught, and the password (I will post of the password on June 30th).
  6. I must receive the email within 24 hours of the date on the paper. If I do not, the entry will be discarded.
  7. If the date is not legible, the entry will be discarded.
ENTRY FORM
Name (at least first):
Bassfishin.com username:
Region you reside in:
Region fish was caught:
Body of water fish was caught on:
Fish species:
Length:
Girth:
Weight:
Picture(s):
[Insert picture(s) here.]
  1. General Rules
  1. ALL FISH MUST BE REALEASED! Please don’t submit fish if they were kept for any reason.
  2. The tournament starts July 1st and runs through July 21st.
  3. All weights must be determined by using the Weight Calculator on the site. http://www.bassfishin.com/bassfishin...cement.php?f=6
  4. Because this tournament is not for prizes, just bragging rights, we will trust the participants to give the correct measurements for length and girth, although the length has to be shown in the picture. We will trust the participants to only submit fish they caught. Also we will trust that the fish was released.


NOTE: Many of the anglers on the forum are also parents, so if you are a parent and want to submit entries of bass you kids caught you are welcome to, but again, the same rules apply. I will also be randomly picking the one fish out of each region caught by the kids.


Alright guys, here are the revised rules. I wanted to make sure I covered everything before I make a separate thread and Kevin sticky's it. If i've missed anything or you still have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks guys,
BB


P.S. No entries are accepted before July 1st because the Tournament starts that day.

Normally I'd have to raise a little Rebel H#LL seein' that we Virginians aren't one of the southern states. However, in this instance, I believe it might be best to take our chances with the Eastern Tribe instead of having to go up against the likes of them Deep South bruisers. Good luck to all!!!!! Thanks for all your hard work, guys!!

Buzzie, I only need one (1) picture of each fish, but more would be ok. The picture has to include the fish and a ruler of type, a slip of paper or such with the date and your bassfishin.com username. Oh, and one entry per email. That'll make it a lot easier to determine the winner.

RRW, You can submit as many fish as you want, as long as they are over 15". Just as stated before though, one enrty per email.

Mr.P, Yes there are some big un form there, but I've seen some big ones form the Carolinas too.

Oh, by the way, I'm adding a catagory of Most Fish, and Largest (heaviest) 5 fish stringer. I've added this and a couple other things to the general rules.

Have fun, and good luck you guys.

fishnngolfn (aka Chris) will participate. Time to break my unlucky streak at Lake Purdy.

BB, so we dont have to post anything special or something to enter, right? Everyone who wants to be is in?

Also, Do we need to be able to get the girth? Since you stated the fish must be photo'd with lenth and paper.

Are smallmouth in the same group as largemouth or are they separate like before?

TB, yes, you do need to get the girth, you just odn't need a photo of that. We need the girth to gewt the weight on the weight calculator.

Mr.P, Yes the 5 fish in the stringer must also be 15".

Bender, All three species are going to be together. If you fish exclusively for smallmouth, this will most likely effect your chances of winning the largest single fish, but you can still win the others. Sorry if this is inconvenient for anyone.

Just post a password on June 30th that has to be written on the paper with the date and that would take care of the early birds.

Ok I do not think anyone will cheat...... BUT we do have some guys on here that can photo shop anything they want. What about a password everyday, so that the paper has dated password and date?? Also what about bait all artifical or can we use live bait??
