I agree that in order to win the Challenge with the current rules you will need to catch a fish over 30" which pretty much means a musky or lake trout. I also agree that there are many anglers that enjoy icefishing out of state and that allowing waters from out of state to be included in the Challenge would make it more interesting and allow anglers living next to the State borders more waters to fish within reasonable driving distance.
That being said, here is an idea and what I agree with to change things up a little without making things too complicated.
1) give 5 bonus points to contestants who post five fish over 20"
2) allow a smallmouth or largemouth bass to count as one of the panfish.
3) allow waters from adjacent neighboring states
I don't agree with allowing two fish of the same specie. We should keep it at eight different species. Getting eight different species is a big part of the challenge.
