Reminder:

5. All pictures must have the tournament card visible.

Well I got out today for a little bit and caught 1 crappie. I am not sure if it will count or not because it is placed on the measuring board, not above or below. I thought that placeing it on the board was more accurate than laying it out below.

Ok thanks BBK. I guess I should have paid attention to see if the card was in the pic or not. lol. I will get it right next time

A tip, if you cut the card out you can laminate it yourself with clear packaging tape. Just place it between two pieces, adhesive side in. That makes it waterproof. That is what I do with stuff that I need for the boat, including licenses I print online.

I thought about this today. I’m trying out how to take a picture of my self if I’m alone. Any suggestions?

You know what, I’m going to edit the rules this one time and drop the two picture rule

You only need the picture of the fish lying on a rule, with the tourney card.

Well here is my entry for LMB. The bass went 20” and was 4 1/2lbs. Looking at the pic, it looks as if it had its tail up when I took the pic. I can tell you right now though that before it had its tail up it went 20”.

I don’t keep any of the fish. If you were wondering, he was released unharmed. The reason as to why the bass was so dry was because I had to drag him up a 3-4ft dirt ledge and them set him down on the ground, which is also dirt and dried grass. That dirt and dry grass dries them fish out really fast, unfortunately.

well nice fish, i was just wondering because he looked like he was dragged through a dessert. lol BH

Hahahahaha I agree. If I were to take a pic of the pond I fish, you would think that it was a desert, but the corn and bean fields surrounding the pond make it obvious that it is Iowa, not the desert lol.

it was a nice fish, weighed a pound more because of the dust.  lol BH   by the way, do you see that Kevin is logged on
