#1 The contest should be a game that is fair to everyone. It should go like this....
Have a contest where there is a list of specific fish to catch that are available to everyone(ie. trout, perch, carp, or catfish). That would make everyone be on a level playing field. After the species have been determined, the contestants would have a certain amount of time to catch a fish within 1" of the target length to be entered. Say on trout between 14" and 15". That is a size fish that everyone should have a chance at. Same with perch, only between 8" and 9" and so on and so forth. Prizes would be determined by the mods and company store. If it ends up in a tie, the mods should have a creative way to decide the winner. Maybe like the first person to name a world record holder for line class on Black Marlin or something like that. I think a contest like this would be fair to everyone involved because it does not involve huge fish that are 4 hours away or species that only exist in certain areas of the state. Trout, carp, perch, and catfish are in almost all of the community ponds and are readily accessible to almost everyone.
