October "Coolest Catch" Contest
« on: October 15, 2015, 08:57:06 PM »
Since shore fishing has been on the slow side, I think I'm going to have the "Coolest Catch" for the last two weeks of October for one of the rod-n-reel set ups that Eric H is donating.

The Rules will be simple... 
  • Post up a fish report in the appropriate forum.
  • I will select some of the better pics or fish for a vote on November 1st.
  • I will shuffle the top five (5) pictures as reports come in to get the crème of the crop photos out there for you to judge.
  • Winner by vote will get his pic of rod/reel that Eric H is kind enough to offer up.  (I'll let him chime in here what make/model/line test they are.)

The winner gets his pick of 1 of 2 rod/reel combos offered by EricH or a choice of one of the 3D printed measuring devices made by xjchad!

Super easy, so get out there and post up some reports!  I'll even accept white croaker if that is what you are catching right now!   :o

Awesome.

Ones a 9ft beefstik paired with a big spinner. (20lb set up) I forget the brand of reel. The set ups were recently given to me.

it is in used fishable condition.

I'll be at storage tomorrow so I'll be able to provide a more detailed description.

the other set up is a bit lighter, again I'll provide details on it tomorrow.

The prize  up for grabs is an Abu Garcia cardinal max7 ( about a 7000 sized spinner) paired with either a 8 ft Master 8-20lb, 1-3oz rod or a 7ft mh daiwa  beefstick 1-3oz. I couldn't quite make out the line rating but it's a 20lb stick.

I was mistaken, I was given 2 rods and 1 reel. For some reason I thought I had another reel.

The stuff is deffinately used but very fishable.

I haven't caught a tractor so that poic isn't mine. My only significant catch was a leopard.

Chad may have to make a bucnh of those measuring widgets. I want one also.
