They were probably caught while targeting something else....... :p

As long as they're released unharmed, like I would hope any big smallie would be during this time, no prob, right??

how about a knife by the fish's head instead of a lighter for the picture? everybody brings a knife fishing (and nobody usually takes pictures of it with their fish so it would work just as well), but only smokers have lighters handy.

Looks like your entry fee just went up $.99 :D

Re: 2014 Smallmouth Contest and Meet and Greet April1st-Nov1st
 

There could be ten things that one THINKS most ppl have while fishin...
a lighter was cheap thing that was small and easy to put in a pic...
A knife was thought of but we don't ALL carry one...A hat was another idea
but not ALL guys wear hats....Its a lighter period....99 cent entry fee hahaa:D

I like the lighter idea becaues it may help me to rememebr to bring a cigar...which I always think of as soon as I'm out in the middle of the lake and wish I had thought of sooner! :D

Looks like we have good support for this..and it is catch and release which is why were doing it by length not weight. So the closed season shouldnt bring negative publicity or harm fish. Its not like were going to have 50 guys hammer one lake or stretch of river in the same day. What do ya say we have this post stickied so it can stay at the top of the page so that all users can see it and participate easily.

Thanks

Love me some thick bronze... Been a while since I've tangled with a decent one.

Is this contest still on, or are we still on hold?

Just got off the phone with Mike Iaconelli, he said he would fish the contest but is currently on tour now. Bummer, I was looking forward to whooping up on him again like I did back in the day on the south Jersey lakes. See you soon buddy.

This is a fun little contest, who's going to bag the winner? Who's been out scouting? I have, spotted quite a few monsters when I was out Sunday morning. Man, there are some serious footballs out there ready to eat.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TIGHT LINEZ!!!!!
