: Summer Shark Contest
: Latimeria May 23, 2016, 07:23:09 AM
***Coming Soon***

I'm trying to lock up some prizes and figure out some details, but hopefully should have something solid soon.

The contest will run from June 01, 2016 to September 21, 2016 (Last day of Summer) and will be based on measurements.

More to come soon, so get your long rods tuned up and ready to do battle!

I'm giving you a run for that money at this point Mike. Unless you count the little leopards on the bait making rig.

I may get the prize for most sputniks lost at this rate.  >:(

Jim
Probably the 99" 7 you tailed, but it dosn't really matter at this point as I don't think anything on the boards right now is going to be able to hold pace wire to wire. I have the feeling one or more of us is going to bust the elusive 110" before this summer done. ;)
 So everyone- be sure to always be carrying a tape, or two, because it'll suck balls for you if your the one that does and not have a way to measure her out
Just sayin...

Yeah, it must be taped to count and I think Binh has the lead with a 99".  Guestimates won't work for this contest, but that 110" is a real possibility and with the summer here.

Well, it looks like a few 99 inch models are in the lead!  You must measure and/or have a witness there to be qualified and top fish will go up at the end of the contest for you to vote on.  I'm still working on prizes through donations from a company or two, so be honest and make those pics count. 

Remember, Guesses are usually far off from the actual length and this contest is specific.

I'm really hoping we see a 10 footer this summer!

Lol I'm still bummed my 107 was caught the week before the contest started and that it was 1 in shy of 9ft.

9.5' seems the upper end for 7 gills.
Hammers would be the most likely.

Not that I have heard but there was a pic of once cruising the breakers in HB. They love to eat rays so when the sand is full of them it is possible.

I heard of one supposedly caught last year at Topanga beach. Supposedly on a Mac that was taken out by a surfer. I haven't seen any pics of it, so take it with a grain of salt.

Bump...almost forgot we're in the midst of this, it's not over yet, but at this point I'd be happy to catch one to beat out WheresMyBeer for the smallest

Only caught one shark this year.

A 18 inch Leo I snagged in the back with a krocodile 2 weeks ago.

Well if the bottle is acting like a giant slip bobber on the end of a rod, it really isn't jug fishing.  ;)

Just tossing a big bait into the outgoing tide and drifting away.

We're getting close!  You're only in a tie for the lead right now Binh and even then it's suspect!  lol

I have a prize for a tie if that wins it for you and the other half of the prize will be going towards the next "Fall Contest" if it ends in the running it is going.
