    Default Big Fish Pot at D'Arbonne--POLL


    HEY FOLKS.........

    last year at darbonne we had a record number of big fish participants. i know big john and southernchuter loved it. but there was some scuttlebutt last year about paying two places, or three, depending on whether or not we had enough fishermen in the big fish pot. i always like to spread the wealth if possible, but i wanted to get everyone's opinion about this before we went any further.

    here is a possible way it could work. not married to this exact design, but something like this could be an option.

    if we have 25 or less people in the big fish pot, we would only pay the winner @ 100% of pot.

    if we have 26-40 people, we would pay first and second at a ratio of winner gets 75%, second place gets 25%

    if we have 41 or more people in the big fish pot, we would pay three place at this ratio.....winner gets 70%, second place gets 20% and third gets 10%.

    all of these numbers are open to discussion if we actually want to do more than one pay out at all. just wanted to dump this out there.

    yall pick one option or the other. totally doesn't matter to me.........

    not sure what you are meaning by this. we all use the honor code, but we do have safeguards in place to keep an honest man honest. LOL

    we haven't had an issue with anyone being dishonest.

    If the eyes of the fish are glossed over, like they have been in an ice chest for 2 days, the fish will NOT be weighed. Of course there will be more than just the weigh master to judge this. And relax Tal, I know you were just kidding but wanted to point this out to everyone that participates in the Big Fish Pot.

    What happens if the fisherman's eyes are glazed over?
