This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

hey Merc40. If you sign up to participate in the FHBOVT ( Fish-Hawk Board only Virtual Tourney ) you will assigned a unique ID that is registered to you only. You will need to write this down on a peice of paper and in each of the two pictures you will need to show this ID in it. This way I can validate that the bass was not caught 5 years ago from southern Florida. Especially if it comes in at 26"...lol.

Oh and welcome to FH!

I would assume not before late on Aug. 31st or in the wee hours of Sept. 1st,
since that's when it actually starts. :wink:
Can't have anyone cranking out scads of pics with the "code word" in them
between now and the "Official Launch" of the tourney!! :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just so those of you who were not in this last year this is how I want you to send in the pictures. Two pictures one of you holding fish and code in it and second one with measurement and code.

I will have a new thread titled FHBOVT 2015 Entry Pics. Put your two pictures in there. Make a little post of the day too if you want. We all love fishing stories.

I have a template at work I will post tomorrow. You will just need to print it off, if you choose to use it.

Last year I laminated mine. Helped with it not getting destroyed and blown around while taking photos.

I'm also more than happy to laminate yours for you, but you'd need to pick it up from me in downtown Ottawa.

Stay tuned.

If this isn't a suitable option for anyone, don't forget that clear packing tape makes for a good poor mans laminate.

Ok so to set the record straight I don't care if the tail is pinching or not. Pinching the tail gets you more length in my opinion and that is why I told lvace he could do it however. I will accept either way but final length is determined by the organizing committee. If you measured at 19" and we see 18" then it is 18" and you better go out and catch a ton of bass and practice your camera skills. This is a fun tourney remember and if someone gets all worked up because lvace or anyone else catches a brute of a pig well so be it. Anyway lvace it's your choice what you want to do but if one of the tourney committee was there at the time then that makes it even easier.

So either way is good to measure. I myself will pinch and roll it out with a rolling pin.
