I don't keep them big trouts no more, I don't really like to eat them. Nothing wrong with ya'll that do, it ain't no vegan type protest.

I am interested in a big Redfish contest if anyone else is though.

[TroutTrent]

I like it, I'm in

Catch - photo - release tournament would go a long way in insuring we have plenty of breeders for the future vice turning a great fish into a turd. Just saying.

[jsuber]

Good idea, I could use the money.

[jsuber]

I have some extra tape measures if anyone would like, I'll bring them to the next meeting.

Get with Mike Kogan at this website and everyone can pay online, register their fish online, and everyone can see their fish that have been registered to know what they have to beat. He can make you a private area just for Big Bend Anglers too. He may charge you a few dollars per angler from the entry fee, but its worth it to have an unbiased judge and book keeping.

What are you trying to saying Jeff

This is one heck of an idea. We'll see how many 30" fish are really being caught

[flounderpounder]

I agree with that also I will do it if it is catch photo and release.
