Cover Bonanza Float Tube Give Away!!!!!

LOL...If Itchy can complete the "TRASH FISH" list before anyone else he should automatically win!!!

OK guys here is the final set of rules before we get started on the Float Tube Give Away, thanks for all the questions, so let’s fine tune this puppy.

1. The code that I will post the morning of the 3rd must be visible in the picture with the fish. You can add the code on what ever means works for you as long as it is in the picture at the time of the catch. Please no photo shopping it in after, these are fish caught during the contest not before the contest.

2. I don’t feel that is matters how you fish, due to it is not the fish caught but the ticket that is chosen. But because this is a float tube forum, let’s keep all fishing to shore, tube or toon fishing only. No fishing caught on boats will be allowed in the contest.

3. Different species of fish will count example Calico vs. Sand bass are two different species and the differences can be seen on camera or Large Mouth and Small Mouth Bass as well. There will not be much argument on this if you can clearly see the difference between the fish species caught. Please don’t tell me it is different because of the yellow around the gills vs the blue around the gills. This might be true scientifically but if it cannot be plainly seen in the picture it will not be considered different. I will be the final judge on any questionable caught fish species.

4. A catch is a catch legal or not, this is not an issue for this contest. However please don’t list a dink of a catch. There are no legal sizes for bluegill or catfish, or surf perch, but we need to use our heads in these moments, and do the right thing. So legal or not they all will count just don’t post up anything that you could use as bait, not cool. Show use you’re best fishing skills to land the best fish possible.

Running a contest like this can be hard as you can never please everyone. I have tried to address all issues that were raised and I feel that this should handle it all. I have also tried to be as fare as possible and make it accommodating for all members that would like to play with us.
Again I will be the final ruling on any questionable catches, there is plenty of time to fish for some quality fish and as many different species as possible. So get out there are do your best to make our forum proud, tight lines to all.

Thanks

Come on itchy...get on the list! You can make 100 posts before next Sat!

I'm trying.

So Itchybass how did you come up with that sign on?

jeffcpr wrote:So Itchybass how did you come up with that sign on?

All the bass he catches have fleas!!

Is that right itchybass waiting for your answer to this question.

I don't really have a rhyme or reason for a lot of the things I do. I suppose I picked this one because I am a bass fisherman at heart and like most of us I am a fanatic about fishing. I'm always "itching" to go fishing hence the name itchybass.

That is 71 so how long have you been fishing?

Almost there! I've been fishing ever since I can remember. Had my tube for a couple of years. Had a skiff a couple of years before that. I guess fishing is in my blood.

rules seem pretty fail now jeff. good job. I'll be out fishing this weekend

I am hoping you meant FAIR not FAIL because it seemed like a pretty good set of rules to me lol.

Basically common sense on fish species, keep it friendly and for float tubers, tooners and shore guys that desire to be like the rest of us and can maybe iwn their frist tube. Boat guys have their own forums and contests and they don't usually include float tubes... atleast I never got an invite.

Sorry about that, I was posting this from my phone. Yes the rules are now more on the FAIR side IMO.

Thank you thank you thank you almost time to start

On the 3rd you will find the code in this thread and you will find the title of the new thread being started were you can post your pictures. This thread will be looked out so on the 3rd there will be no more posting on this one.

I hope to have all my fish posted by the 4th...going to do some fishing in the salt tank at the Fred Hall show !

Good luck to all....and thanks Jeff for all your hard work!
