No need to be counted out Skinnybass, pond ownership is not going to be a requirement. I'm sure that a fellow pond meister here will let you fish their pond. Illinois pond meisters? Off the top of my head I can't think of any reason to restrict this soley to pond owners or even being fished on private ponds. Feedback anyone?
Feed back also on the maximum length of time for holding the box of lures - it can't be too long or not very many people will get to play. I'm thinking 7 to 10 days.
Also this is not a contest of size of fish. The first fish you catch on any of the lures is "THE" fish. That will be part of the fun of this process (watch me snag hook a Gambusia, that'd be my luck). As soon as a fish is caught the lures move on.
Also I'm thinking "Fellowship of the Traveling Lure" for the name.
LATE BREAKING NEWS FLASH: (got a client coming in and my boss is getting mad at all this goofing off): JWHAP just procured the box. I'll post photos later. Suffice it to say that the box is very cool and will be able to be shipped for $10 bucks or so. In the end the box with the lures IMHO will be display quality.
