Default Braggin' Rights Tournament- July 1st-July 21st

OFFICIAL BASSFISHIN.COM BRAGGIN’ RIGHTS TOURNAMENT RULES

Locations
  1. Regions are provided on map below
  2. Entries should be submitted with the region fish were caught in.
  3. Fish caught in lakes that are in two or more regions can be submitted as either region.
  4. Fish caught in lakes that are in the U.S. and another country, should be submitted as the region which the stateside part of the lake lies in.
  5. Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron are NORTH.
  6. Lake St. Claire and the Detroit River are NORTH.
  7. W. Lake Erie is CENTRAL.
  8. E. Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario are EAST.



Fish / Categories

  1. Three Species of bass will be accepted: Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted.
  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.
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.]


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 fish weights must be calculated by using the Weight Calculator on Bassfishin.com. http://www.bassfishin.com/bassfishingforums/announcement.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.
  5. Only artificial baits should be used.
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.




PASSWORD: CatchandRelease

I did forget to include whether or not live bait is accepted, and it is not. Artificials baits only. I have fixed this in the original rules.

Thanks guys,
and good luck to eveybody.

Would be a good idea, but like ya said, I'm gonna have enough pics and entries to sort through. That's why I'm allowing only one entry for smallest ffish (and it adds a bit of strategy to it.)

I caught two 1 lb bass tonight at a private lake. Sadly I didn't have my camera with me. One was a spot and the other a LM. I need to remember to leave a digital camera in the car.

I caught 8 fish on the 4th. I submitted pics for just 2 of them. All were under 1 lb. One of the 8 died due to my inability to unhook a deep hook set. We had fish for dinner that night. I have yet to get a good rhythm down so I can take a picture with the appropriate info on a sheet, measure the fish, and get him back in the water before he dies. I get worried and just throw them back if I don't have my stuff setup for measuring and pictures.

Hey guys, I've decided to have the Smallest Fish contest have a separate winner in each region, but the other rules still apply (one smallest fish entry per person, and a person can only win one category) Everything is explained in the rules above.

I also decided to give you guys a little leader board as of rright now so here it is:

North: no entries yet.

South:
Largest fish: The Bateman
Largest stringer: The Bateman (4 fish)
Smallest: fishnngolfn

East:
Largest fish: Brushhog
Largest Stringer: Brushhog (1 fish)
Smallest fish: Jim80

West: no entries yet.

Central: no entries yet.

Keep sending them in, and remember, if you've already aubmitted a smallest fish, please don't submit more, and all other fish must be 15".

Thanks guys, Good fishing, and tight lines!

BB
