How do you define Kayak? For instance, I've got a 24 foot proline Kayak...ya'll gonna discrminate

The spirit of this contest is to provide an environment for individuals with equal equipment to compete against each other in kayaks and canoes. When I fish against boats in my kayak I am assuming the risk of losing by handicaping myself. Maybe one weekend we will have a tournament where a boat and a kayak will be on a team and compete against other teams.

So what you are saying is that you be discriminating...outa be a law

Mud, I bet Suber would let you compete if you left your outboard prop and trolling motor at home, and paddle your 24' kayak.

Now that would be okay...... if I could use my airboat instead I mean after all, no motor/prop touches the water with the airboat, just like with a Kayak

As long as you turn that rop on your airboat with a hand crank.

You can use this if you take off the trolling motor and battery and paddle it.

I do, I do...I use my hand to turn the key in the switch to get it to crank

Okay folks. We got a lot of prizes, with 5 kayaks, PFD's, paddles, and lots more stuff.

Hobie has donated a Hobie Revolution for the Longest Slam which is combined total length of a Flounder, Redfish, & Trout.
TNT Hideaway has donated a Heritage Redfish 12 for the Longest Redfish Division.
Sunjammers of Panama City has donated a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160i for the longest Trout, and
Wilderness Way has donated a Tan Perception Search 15 witt rudder for the longest Flounder.

You can only win in one division. Except everyone is open for the Redfish Spot Division.

Redfish with the most spots on one side wins a Spot Messenger with a 1 year subscription to the service. In case of tie, longest Redfish wins. Still a tie goes to the Redfish that was checked in first.

38 Giftbags left and Wilderness Way has donated a Tan Perception Search 15 with Rudder for biggest Flounder. Word is there will be a Ride 135 donated and we will auction it off. Bidding will begin at $300.00 so bring your checkbook.
