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.

yeah exactly, there is a big difference between being competitive and being a cry baby p.i.t.a.

I confirmed that i can get a few lures/baits from at least 2 different companies if we decide to get something going (the amount will most likely depend on how many participants we can get...it'll just be to supplement prizes, consolation prizes, etc.)

Only problem i have with a regular m&g one day contest is most of us can't keep a fish alive on the ice to weigh it in so it wouldn't be a c&r contest anymore. too many huge fish already wasted too many times all year on lake hopatcong from the KDC contests. Some guys are capable of keeping them alive to weigh in, but most are not/will not.

Another issue we might have is the round-about way we have to post pictures of a certain size now.

One way to get around the picture issue could be to utilize the facebook page! No restrictions on pictures there. Or you could have everyone send pictures to a centralized email account and the "overseer" could be in charge of them. Never been involved in any contests on the site but they seem like they could be fun despite past results.

I wonder if we could make a facebook page purely for the purpose of hosting a fishing contest...

doubt gerry would want the njf fb page taken over by a contest completely.

I would have no problem accepting pics through text or email and posting them up and giving a measurement judgement along side..fb wouldn't be a bad idea but itd be nice to keep it on the site.. but I'm in for whatever you guys decide on and need help with

Some interesting ideas on this thread. Thanks for chiming in guys. I appreciate the input for real!!! Lots of safe ice out there now with a little rain in the forecast. I call that rain Mother Nature’s Zamboni, LOL!!!! It’s all going to freeze up again nicely Saturday night and well into next week. Nice smooth black ice I’m thinking, so purdy!!!

673 views on this thread! No fish pics! No fishing report! Must be guys that love ice fishing looking at the thread! Or maybe it’s the FBI! Huh?
