Never fished it Jimmy.

It is very similar to the "Fall Brawl" that they run out of Ohio each year. Not sure on the prizes for the Domka event but the overall winner of the fall brawl is a new boat.

Those dates pretty much allow for fish to be weighed from River fishing all the way up to post spawn. I suspect that the winner would be somewhere close to 14lbs.

One rule often overlooked: All participants within a boat MUST be registered! Obviously, how would they know who was fishing with you that day but... those are the rules.

On the flip side... if you plan on fishing that area quite a bit in the spring, it would be worth paying the money. Whether jigging the river or fishing Erie. I've caught several fish over 12lbs. 30bucks is a small price to pay to win something.
