Ice FiShInG oVeRlOaD......got me thinking!!!
 
Tis the season………………………………to pull some fish through some icy NJ holes. In the spirit of the off season as some "ANGLERS" like to call it, we the members of NJFISHING.COM are going to have a little contest. I'm not sure how these so called "ANGLERS" fish from April-October and then call it quits. Especially when there's fish to catch all year round in our great little state. This contest will begin as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe ice in NJ. The contest ends March 21st at midnight. The contest will be 20 bucks per man. If you know me hand me the money. If not, we'll set something up via Paypal or you can just send me a check in the mail. There will be 5 categories and they are as follows.

Category 1 - Large and Smallmouth Bass
Category 2 - Pickeral
Category 3 - Pike
Category 4 - Walleye
Category 5 - Perch and Crappie

There will be 1 winner for each category. The biggest fish entered in each category "WINS"! The angler with the most entries in the most categories will get a "BONUS PRIZE"! That's for the angler that catches alot of fish but never seems to get the biggest one. There will be "CASH" prizes for the top fish in each category.

IF YOU WANT TO BE "IN" THIS CONTEST I NEED YOU TO POST ON THIS THREAD THAT YOU ARE
…………..." IN "…………...
RULES -

You "MUST" be a NJFISHING.COM member to enter the contest. This means you "LURKERS" out there need to join the site or well, you get "ZERO"! It's not going to hurt to become a member so do it………………………... "NOW"!

Your entry/ fish "MUST" be caught in NJ. This includes Greenwood Lake and the Delaware River. No out of state fish will be excepted. If your where-a-bouts are questionable you will go in front of the committee. "TRUST ME" you don't want that to happen.

"NO PRIVATE LAKES", "PUBLIC LAKES ONLY"! This means you "HACKS" that fish your backyards every season don't really stand a chance, LMAO!!!!! "HACKS"!!!

You "MUST" provide a pic of your fish next to a "TAPE MEASURE". A real "TAPE MEASURE" like the ones purchased from Home Depot, Lowes or manly stores. "No" paper tapes, "NO" tapes from your dry cleaner or tailor. This is important. If we can't read the numbers on your "TAPE MEASURE", you are "SCREWED"!

There will be a "MYSTERY" item that you must include in your pic in order for your entry to count. Make sure you have this item on you at all times. No "MYSTERY" item in the pic, UH OH, guess what? Your entry will not count. You'll be "SCREWED" again!

The "MYSTERY" item will be available on December 20, 2014.

Here's how to enter your pics. Place the fish on the ice gently next to the "TAPE MEASURE" with the " MYSTERY" item. Take a pic. Then take your fancy digital camera or phone and take a "SELFIE" of you on the Ice with the fish. A little background doesn't hurt. DO NOT SPOT BURN! I recognize alot of bushes and trees on NJ lakes and ponds so show me and the committee something in the background.

Post your entry on this thread for all of us "ICE MANIACS" to see! Please be sure to have nice clear pics of your entry!

Deadline to get "IN" this contest will be Friday January 9th. If your not on the list by January 9th, well, your not in the contest. No exceptions!!

Contest runs as soon as you "MANIACS" can find safe Ice in NJ. Contest is over at midnight of March 21, 2015. No entries will be excepted after this deadline

Those are the rules plain and simple. If I forgot anything hopefully the "COMMITTEE" will chime in and pick up where I left off. There will be other prizes donated along the way so sign up to NJFISHING.COM now. You don't want to miss this one. There's going to be prizes galore. Hopefully some of the kind sponsors will throw us a prize or 2. This is going to be a fun contest made for the members of NJFISHING.COM by the members of NJFISHING.COM. No "DRAMA" will be excepted in this contest. Trash talk on the other hand is greatly appreciated. Don't be scared to "STIR THE POT", just make sure you do it in a respectful manner, LMFAO!!!!!! See you "MANIACS" out there. Be safe. Beware of thin Ice.

I'm not even thinking about ice fishing yet! Talk to me in February! I'll be in if we get ice! Might want to consider axing the walleye category and separating the perch and crappie. The only magic ice fishing walleye spot in nj probably won't freeze this year :eek:

I'm in. Better start getting cold soon. 50 friggin degrees in December ain't cool man!

Also, to avoid me being an a-hole like last year :D perhaps we have a moderator or non-participant call the catch sizes based off the pics we post. This would help minimize the pissy banter over an 1/8 of an inch etc. Seems to be the ideal way to call out a fish's measurement without argument.

Splitting perch and crappie might be a good idea. Adding in a catfish category wouldn't hurt, either. I guess it's dependent upon the number of participants... 1st place winnings would be diluted. Then again, who's in this for $? I'm in it to talk smack and have a jolly old frolick with my nj fishing ice maniacs! Yeaaaaaaa boooooy! Big baits b*tches!

Pull out the tip-ups, sharpen the auger blades, stock pile some baits, the ice is coming whether you fair weather fishermen like it or not!

Perch and Crappie run the same sizes depending on where your fishing. The Walleye category is perfect for those willing to put in the extra time staring at there flashers or those that just know where they live. Categories will be the same as last year. Well have to see how many MANIACS enter!

Measurements will be called as they are shown in the pics. If your off by an 1/8 of an inch you will be called on it, PERIOD. Press that tape and the nose of the fish against something and hold that camera button down to take some rapid fire pics.

If it's 5 degrees warmer on average this winter as opposed to the last 2, well hell, it's going to be another record setting winter. We'll see what happens MANIACS!!!!
