2017 ice contest pike entries

[RyanMac14]

Judging here for bigboy and Mikeys beautiful 36.5 inch pikes. Both awesome fish but I'd definitely give it to Mikey because his fish definitely hits the 36.5 inch mark and extends a little bit past the mark while Big Boys just makes it to the mark if not comes up a hair short

The Pike category is always my favorite. Some really beautiful fish coming through the icy holes in recent days. Way to go guys! Sheeeeesh!!!!

Lets zoom in judge. Tie goes to the fish that's properly bumped.
Bigboy's post portrays a pike bumped properly against the board.

Esox- I've zoomed and zoomed and I'm not sure I see your argument. I believe Mikeys fish to be over 36.5 inches and big boys to be just under. If the other judges and Delaware disagree I take no offense. But that's how I see it

I've done many online contests based on length pictures and for what it's worth I'd edge in favor of Mikey's fish, but none of that will matter when the second ice season comes in February and I blow all the current entries away with some real fish!!!

Both fish look properly bumped even though Miley probably jipped himself an 8th of an inch on the sticker placement on the board. And nothing in the rules says no tail pinching (that's how you measure for a size limit too).

Aren't we supposed to keep conversation in the main tread!?

That's what I was hoping so we didn't have 6 pages to look through for 4 entries. Im working on a photo editing app to draw straight lines so we can break it down to the nearest measurement possible

Updated. I have screen shots on hoe I judged the fish, it appears the top two fish are both properly bumped with Mikeys fish just over the 36.5" mark and bigboys just a hair under the 36.5" mark
