Default Season Smallmouth Contest?!

So I was thinking this year since most people on this board target smallies at least occasionally that we should do some type of contest. I was thinking of doing it strictly by length and starting it from April 1st 2014 thru Nov 1st 2014 All you would have to do to enter is put a measuring tape on your fish and post a pic of the fish with the measuring tape on it on this website. The reason for doing it by length and not weight is to damage the fish less. Any blood in the pic would disqualify it and you have to at least lie to us and say you released it lol! Fish can be caught anywhere in state or out of state as long as you post the pic here. Personally I would donate a Carhartt hoodie with an awesome smallie logo and NJFISHING.COM on the back or if Gerry would send me a logo he likes for his site I would be more than happy to use that so the winner can rep NJFISHING.COM. I would also embroider the front left chest with the winners name with first place underneath (of course this would have to be ok with Gerry). I would also donate a hat with the logos as well. Im in the screen printing, embroidery, and industrial work clothes business so this would be pretty easy for me to do. To me this would be a great way to encourage more pics and fishing reports, and if anyone is worried about spot burning take an inconspicuous pic and don't post location. Lets here some suggestions on this. I think its a great idea but I could be wrong. Maybe some other members can donate some stuff so we can have a 1stplace 2nd and 3rd. Whadda ya think guys? I think it would be a great friendly thing to do!

Gary

You set it up, I'm definately IN!!!! Just hope I can catch a SMALLIE big enough out of the Raritan or Delaware that can compete with a big lake or res SMALLIE. It's worth a shot, you have my interest!

What to do for a 2nd and 3rd place fish? HMMMMMMMM!!!!! You do all that awesome embroidery on expensive Carhartt hoodie, T-shirt and a hat, I'll throw in a 75 dollar gift card to a tackle shop that sponsors NJF. Not sure if that would be a 2nd or 3rd place prize, but it will definately make things interesting!!!

I do have a boat with a 25hp Merc but of course I'm restricted to 4 places now being as all my other motors/engines blew up, LOL!!! I'll jump on with you anytime brother! Let's get this poppin!!!!!!!

That could work if it's very close. Maybe have a few NJF veterans that aren't involved in the contest be the judges. This way nobody is partial.
