I like this idea. Bragging rights and maybe basic prizes. No cash. No drama. Eddie busted his ass in the past running smooth contests but last year was a disaster after it transitioned to that guy who no longer posts.

Keeping cash OUT of it should eliminate the dramatics.

Braggin’ rights contest is cool! I just feel that it’s necessary for the guys to get something good for all there effort. Ice fishing is work at times. Dudes deserve something for freezing there arses off. Donations are great of course but very hard to acquire. Anyone else have any ideas? Bwahahahaha Hahahaha!!!!!!!! Stir, stir, stir!!!!!!!!

This isn’t a communist fishing site! Is it????

wasn't his fault...guys gave him a hard time to try to prove a point i guess and he was too nice about it imo. there would've been 3 guys not allowed to enter right off the bat if it was me.

I'll run it if you want, but be prepared for DQs left and right and a bunch of cry babies who's faces i will be laughing in...the participants are the ones that ruin the contest, not the guys running it.

you guys better clear it with andy and gerry because i'm not listening to any cry baby bitching...now that that's out of the way, i'll run it if no one else wants to and i can probably get some fishing gear for prizes, but no promises on short notice.

andy and gerry are going to be the ones getting complained too cause i'm not dealing with babies, that's all i'm saying about it.

the easiest way is to just set up a meet and greet for LH or any easy on+off lake and have the contest the same day from sunrise to noonish. collect the money from guys who show up and pay out the same day on the spot.....

If you guys do decide you want to do more than a 1 day thing, i don't mind helping as a non involved participant. I can do the judging or handle the money if that helps. Same as Chrisper and Sir Edward I dont mind giving people the business if they decide to be whiney bitches. Think it might be smart to limit it to certain people we know wont pull any BS. Damn right we are all competitive but in the grand scheme of things I'd like to think most of us enjoy the fishing most and the money is just a fun competitive incentive. Ice fishing just isn't my thing so if you guys want to do a multi day/week thing, i dont mind helping keep shit straight.

Just stating it was a disaster--not pointing blame.

We're competitive enough. Money muddies everything.
