For those of you enjoying the AOTY virtual tournament... I just found a national version called "BountyFishing". 

They haven't even started yet (July 2nd), so it's obvious that they stole our idea.  Basically you upload pictures of you and your fish against a measuring device. 

Anyway, it's a bit freshwater centric but here's the link if anyone is interested.
http://www.bountyfishing.com/

Here are the rules..
http://www.bountyfishing.com/enterprise/rules

They have weekly prizes of $1000 per species for first, $200 for second, and $100 for third. They also give out money for largest combined length of multiple species at the end of the summer.

Sound familiar?

I think we send sky after them. The NCKA could be well funded. We didn't sign any waiver on this.

What?!  Joel not like fisherwomen?!  He just recounted how he met the hottest female DFG survey agent this past weekend at New Brighton.  Wearing daisy dukes and a olive-drab DFG issue top.  She asked if she could inspect his rod and tackle!  hahahaha.  Just as he was about to bust a Capt. Morgan Pimp Stance on her, he spied the gym rat boyfriend in background, shirtless.  He was the size of a fully grown Congolese silverback, and was doing a chest dance in an aggressive display to mark his turf.  

Now, we all know that Joel could have laid him out with just one precision cast of his 3 oz Chin Spin jig beamed to the BF's sloping forehead and protruding supraorbital ridges.  However, smelling a lawsuit, Joel turned down his Mack-o-Meter, bid the lady a fond farewell, then waded into waist deep 61 degree water till the feeling subsided.

By the way, She was NOT a fisherwoman but simply an undergrad that was sidelining with the DFG for credits  :smt002
