Ladys and Gentlemen  there will be a Fifth Annual ROCKBASS Challenge in 2016...

Basically same rules as last year,  you MUST be signed up for the regular 2016 MNO Fishing challenge. Just Post your TROPHY ROCKBASS photo with the same required item (screwdriver)  with the ruler or fish board.  The Challenge is open the same time period as the MNO Challenge...Minnesota fishing opener until November 1st  at midnight.

Grand Prize for the Largest (Length) ROCKBASS will be the Wonderful Full Mount MNO Traveling ROCKBASS Trophy!

Other exceptional Prizes will be up for grabs also...to be announced . See past years great prizes!

Each entrant may upgrade Rockbass catches but the longest is the only one that counts.. First one posted of certain length gets higher placement if a tie. No minimum length.

Post your Whopper ROCKBASS Photos in this thread( Not the MNO 2016 Challenge)....Judging will also be in this thread.

IF the winner of the 2016 MNO Lake Iwwanabethere ROCKBASS tournament catches a Trophy Rockbass that beats the Minnesota Record of 2.0 lbs documented and submitted to the Mn DNR. Or beats any Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame record and is submitted and accepted (including catch and release)  a second Grand Prize will be awarded......

A matched  Ultralight rod and reel. from Reed's Outdoors.    The best rod/reel set up for Rockbass other than a cane pole!

BTW Deadeye the Trophy Rocky is still looking good on my fireplace Mantle at the Lake!! :bonk:
