2015 Contest

The 2015 Big Fish of the Year contest is just around the corner. We would like to be able to start the contest on January 1st, so we are accepting entrants now! The rules will be similar to the current rules listed above except with a new species and a new word. We also might rearrange the payouts to include more for the secondary fish, but that will depend on how many entrants we have.

As usual we want to keep the fish species a secret until the entrants have paid up. Remember this contest is multi species for a reason and we don't just want people to enter when their species of choice is selected. People will be able to join after the first of the year, but again, try to keep the species a secret until they commit to joining.

We encourage all new participants, so feel free to invite anybody who may be interested.

If anybody has any questions or ideas for the contest please let me know.

Matt with 13.4" Crappie!

Matt caught this nice Crappie which was just short of the lead. 13 7/16" It doesn't get much closer than that! Caught among the mosquitoes on a secret lake in the Chippewa National Forest.
