Ron, i'm LMAO......

It is probably a cell phone picture of a fish laying next to a ruler deal. Or a cell picture of the fish on a hand held scale with weight showing.

I pulled the permit and what we do is take a picture near a ruler. We have 3 trophies and gift cards and door prizes. All the money goes to the united way. No real age limit. If you want to fish this please get a hold of me and I will email you the forms/ waiver for this event. Kids are welcome as long as they are with an adult.

Thanks Jerry, I'll let you know if my schedule will allow it.

Can we just show up to pay and sign papers at the launch that morning, or is this event pre -register only?

No the cutoof date for entry is 9/10/10. People launch at their leisure. Not going to sit at the ramp waiting for people etc. Send me a pm with your reg email and I can send you the forms rules etc. Plus hard to also run a potluck with last minute folks in the mix.

Sounds good, I'll keep you posted as to my ability to make this.

Skeeter Ron and MR Slimecoat I sent the info to your email listed on this site. Right now we have trophies, lures, Cabelas gift cards hopefully and door prizes. Would be nice to see some of the faces from this site there. Like mentioned earlier 100% of the entry fee goes to the united way and if youi write a check you can write it off.
