Seriously how about a pond raised record status for Pond Boss members for different species? Could be a fun way to see who can grow the biggest fish in their ponds. Fish must be weighed on a certified scale, two witnesses of the catch, witness at certified scale etc. Measure on a board with a picture on the board. and a good close up pic of the fish.
Could be a separate category for catch and release which would only require a measurement and photo.
Categories could be:
Largemouth north of the Mason Dixon Line
Largemouth south of the Mason Dixon Line
Yellow Perch
Bluegill
Hybrid Bluegill
Redear (Shellcracker)
Green Sunfish
Channel Catfish
Blue Catfish
Bullhead
Smallmouth bass
Walleye
Black Crappie
White Crappie
Hybrid Striped Bass
Rainbow Trout
Brown Trout
Brook Trout
No prizes, certificates, or money, just a pic in the Pond Boss magazine?
What do you think Bob?
