I have a couple of questions:

1. When score is taken, is it the single largest of each species, up to 16 different species, that is tallied up? Or is it all fish combined up to 16 different species?

2. I also didn't notice my presents in the contest yet.

dose this help?

You can keep upgrading the score of your species by bringing in a larger one. We will take the largest of each species and add it to you score. Up to 16 species max score.

as for seeing your self, this wont be updated every day, If a week or so goes buy and you dont see the update give me a poke and let me know I fell asleep.[blush]

Here's the story ,
4 kids , around 9 or 10 years old show up with their poles and see me fighting the fish , they are amased !
Once i land it they are awed at the size of it , "what kind of fish is that " one kid asks .
I reply , "That's a bugle mouth bass" , and the older guy a few feet down from me starts chuckeling .
"What are you going to do with it ?" , the next little kid asks .
"Take his picture and let him go" , I say . Then I tell the kids about the contest .
"Can we have it ? "
"Sure , you take my pic and you can have it ".
One kid snapps my pics , then they take turns carrying the thing home . The older guy starts laughing again . He says he would love to see the look on the parents face when they drag that fish in the house .
The kids return a short time later covered in slime and put the carp in the river , it swims off .
The tallest of the youngsters says ;
Mom said that bass isn't in season so we had to put it back .

The older guy starts laughing non-stop .

LOL,

I wonder what her excuse would have been if you told them it was a polish trout [Tongue]
[signature]
I bet if she had a fry pan and I was within arms reach , you would have heard the ring all the way down to your house [pirate], lol !!!
