It's catch photo release and if your fish is clearly dead, previously frozen, (cloudy eyes, etc.) if it is obvious the fish wasn't just caught it will be a dq. Obviously you can only tell so much from a picture but c&r is def encouraged.

It's North America wide so they won't know if a fish is specifically out of season for your state but that comes down to personally following the law. All that is required is a quick photo on a bumper board or measuring tape bumped on a straight edge with the monthly token in picture.

It's pretty much exactly what the njf ice fishing contest was except run on a monthly basis with some categories that anyone can win from anywhere. These reward sites or whatever you're thinking of are not what this is at all.

This is, you join the site for free. Pay for whatever contest(s) you want to compete in for the month via PayPal. You catch a good fish you photo it on the ruler with the token. At the end of the month winners get the pot runners up get a shirt or whatever...

it's literally a monthly version of the njf ice fishing contest that everyone just enjoyed here. That's why I posted, figured this would be something guys here would like. I wouldn't be a part of whatever it is you're describing Andy.

I can't really navigate the site without a login, but it sounds interesting.

I'm not sure how the slot works because there can be an inherent margin of error when you're photographing a fish next to a ruler. The error is small, but it can throw the contest when the goal is to get as close to a specific measurement as possible.

that's why they really want you to use a bumper board and have the nose touching the 0" mark and the longest part of the tail actually touching the mark on the ruler, that's the length end of story no argument. if a piece of the tail goes past the slot, you're out (usually not confirmed till the last day) basically the leader board is based on each persons own measurement and then on the last day they make any adjustments. They go by 1/8" increments and first fish posted wins in the case of a tie. I've can't ever recall haven't a dispute, it's pretty cool.

The site is hard to navigate at this moment that's true. He just recently revamped the whole thing so there are still some bugs but competition is still on monthly. signing up is free and there is no commitment to compete. there are even some free contests for t-shirts and stuff sometimes.
