Connor's Jigs/PFF Inshore Picture/Forum Tournament Ideas

[Garbo]

My son Connor has some money set aside that was meant to be spent on a tournament of some sort and hasn't spent it yet. I suggested to him to spend it here, on the Forum. He needs to spend it this year.

I suggested having a PFF/Picture(with measure tape) tournament and have 4 catagories such as Pompano, Flounder, Redfish and Largest Fish caught on one of his jigs. No entry fee, just catch a fish on one of his jigs and take a picture (with a ruler) and post it on a thread that is designated to the species you caught. At the end of the tournament, each winner would be awarded the winning award which wouldmost likely cash.

Pompano

Flounder

Redfish

Largest Single Fish

I think something could be put together that would be very cool. I got to think some of you all have some ideas, and I hope you don't mind sharing them.

Well?

Sounds like a cool idea. Very generous of Connor as well!

Sounds like a lot of fun. I would kind of like to see it over an extended period of time, maybe a couple of weeks.Could get pretty exciting!

He needs to spend the money this calander year.

I was thinking something that would end Oct. 31. It could start as soon as the rules were set. But, If yall are the Players, it would be fair that you had some say.....

So Say.

Also it would be pretty nice to have an awards ceremony/fish fry type thing.Maybe even spend the money on a trophy for the winner or something similar.

Now that would be real cool. A Trophy for each catagory would be kinda cool tooo... Good Sug.

We can have the awards ceremony at the RFRA building.

We have a huge grill and my fish fryer is always down there.

Run the tourney from Oct 1 to Oct. 31. Pick a few (say 3) species and then I really like the largest overall fish caught on a Connor's Jig.

1st places only? Second place is for losers, right?

I like the species. 1st place in all three and biggest fish overall. Does the pic have to show the jig?

Now this is going somewhere.

I was thinking largest fish could be any species, just simply largest fish caught no holds barred, and of course the other 3 species would be largest of species.

And it would be a good idea for both angler and jig to show in the picture. BTW, the picture becomes the property of Connor's Jigs and may be used for future advertising both in the local area and out of the local area as well.

Sounds good to me. One more question, can I tip the jig within reason? Like put a flea on it or a strip for flounder fishing?
