here is a couple of questions..

1st..

Any where on Taneycomo? (not just restricted to the trophy release)

2nd

Any bait/fly/lures...... any rods... fly or spinning rod

(this includes all power bait,worms,minnows,shads, rapalas... ect)

3rd..

Do they "HAVE" to hand the picture (s) to you..

Or can it be posted here on OAF or e-mailed to you with all information needed

4th..

Any body can tell someone how big a fish is..

does it have to be set close to a tape measure or ruler.... for a accurate measurement?

5th..

what if someone catches a big one while out with a guide..

6th..

How many pictures should be taken of the fish?

(measurement of lenght and girth.... plus any marks that might be on the fish... Like a poke from a heron or a gash from a boat or a messed up lip, or a dark spot from shocking)

7th..

what happens if the same fish is caught by a couple of different people?

(would this be classified as a tie?)

Yes anywhere on Taney

Any rod any bait, lure or fly

The pic has to be to me either by email or by hand. michael@backcountryoutfitters.org

It is honesty if you lie then you are only lying to yourself

Like it says anybody any where it does not matter if you are with a guide as long as you catch it, there again it is honesty

1 pic will be fine

first pic to me wins.

s is correct, Michael does it have to be in your hands by midnight the 30th that is when My buisness day ends :)

Michael what brand of tape measure do you want us to use ?

what type of camera should we use Michael?

What type of florocarbon line can we use, any kind ok, or do we have to use just what you sell, any kind of fly reel, what if I want to use my old martin is that ok, or

what if I want to use a bamboo rod and a automatic reel, is that ok?

Can we use a stick to measure the trout with if it has 1" marks on it ?

Please make sure this is all up to date, don't want no mistakes, I think I'll use a purple pistol buster, do you think that will be ok ?

Michael I think that is a great idea, having a trout contest where it is catch and release and

on the honor system, good luck.

Should be some good pics, there are a lot of nice fish swimming around in taney right

now, saw a lot of 4-6 pounders yesterday.

That's Flysmallie in the background... He'll vouch for me...

Great idea having a tournament like this.... I hope this will prove to a lot of folks that fishermen can work on the HONOR SYSTEM and not screw it up...

Yep, I saw the whole thing. He was pulling line off that Zebco 33 like there was no tomorrow. Terry kept having to dunk the reel down in the water to cool it off. As usual Terry was right, big trout do like stinkbait. Terry may have never landed it if I hadn't shot it like 6 times with a 9mm. So do I get half of the prize??

He Beeson is that thing ready to come out of the smoker yet? I got a Turkey this morning that I want to throw in there.
