Awsome idea for a contest.

My only question is when measuring the fish…Mouth open or closed? As most of us know it is very easy to make a fish longer by opening its mouth, which is why all pro bass tourneys and all NJ fishery regulations are measured with mouth closed?

I don't really care one way or another, but I just think getting everyone on the same page would be a good idea.

a modern camera or phone would never take a picture that small, so you should upload the original to photobucket, google+, your facebook, or another photo sharing site that will let you post it here larger. to be fair, every inch of that ruler ought to be legible, and you can't read any of the marks on that ruler that are in the sun.
X2 - The pics need to be larger and the ruler markings fully legible in order to count. Also agree that the state regs for how the mouth and tail are held during measurement should be followed.

All really gr8 points here guys....Just remember this is a fun tourney with prizes donated by fellow nj.com fisherman.....Every option and/or discrepency will be discussed....There are NO cash prizes, lets remember that....If you are a REALLY good cheater , you may win However i don't forsee ppl cheating fer a hoodie...

If the mouth open problem bothers the key coordinaters or donaters it may be disqualified....Its only 8 days into a 7 month tourney, there will be alot more entries....Have fun with it and pls limit the amount of time the fish are out of the water and posing for pics....Fish was outta water maybe ten seconds....wouldn't close his mouth....it is what it is....Have fun and go git em guys

Best I could get it. The zoomed pic shows nicely on my phone which can be seen at the meet n greet at the end in November. Try to take pics with the mouth shut. If for some reason it does not happen because your trying to get a big fish back in the water and he doesn't cooperate enter the pic anyway it will count.

How do I know that tape measure isnt a rubber band? haha....
Solid 21" on the board! This contest could very likely come down to 1/16's of an inch so try to get the best pic you can of that measurement...
Also, it's a top 3 prize pool so don't overlook getting your dink on the board to set the bar!
