To verfify date, It might be as easy as just holding up a phone in the picture.

Good luck to all! Two days to go time!

I can see it now, a 13" Crappie weighing 3.75lbs!

Whatever Leland decides is fine with me, if the honor system is the final verdict then im good with it. I think a card, a phone, a popsickle, honesty, it all works.

I think it is a great idea and with the majority of people being honest and forthright I think it will be a success. I'm worried if its me I won't be able to prove it as I have struggled trying to load pictures on this site. I have one picture from this last Saturday of 12 or so of the fish we caught of which 3 were over 2' lbs and the rest in the 1.5 to 2.0 range. The wind on the big E was brutal but we caught fish everywhere from 3' of water to 15' of water.

If all us members on here cant enter a valid fish do we have no consience? If you dont win fair was it worth it? You can put an object beside for reference if you want and date too. I used to run these at my tackle shop and dont think I had any phony fish.:rolleyes:

Right now on most of your fish that are 15 inches will be 2 pounds, it takes 17 inches on Eufaula to make 3 lbs. I have caught a bunch of them in the 14-16 inches range and it is very seldom that a 14 inch fish will make 2 lbs unless her belly is full of food and babies. On one day I had 5 fish that were 2lbs, another night I had 4 fish that were 2 bs, never have done that since. I have had a ton of fish that were 1.75lbs. I believe that the fun of the contest is honesty! If you are on the south end of the big E stop and weigh your fish at Todd Huckabee's tackle shop he would be glad to weigh them for you, in fact he will guess at it first and probably will be right be looking at you fish. He has the Wildlife Dept. cert. scales! EB

Good idea Brian! Thanks, and Crowder is hard to beat fpr a central launch point...alot of good fishin in that area.

Count me in. Honesty is the best policy. Proof is the best insurance. I have no doubt we all will be honest but just the same I'll include somekind of proof. That's assuming I catch a big one. Thanks for the contest.

Agreed. "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet lose his soul?"
