Just want to make sure i understand this, you can fish any where in mn, catch and measure one of the above speicies of fish, send pic with tape in it to your team captain?  team with the biggest fish wins. Don't know how much fishing i can get in this summer but will throw my name in the hat. Good luck every one.

Actually your team can score 3 Walleye, 3 crappie, 3 Bass and 3 Northern, you get points for the size of the fish turned in at the end of every month. It does not matter who on your team catches the fish, one person can catch them all or everyone can catch something. It will be up to your team to talk to each other and keep track of the biggest fish, at the end of the month your team will turn in the 3 biggest of each species.

Hope that makes sense?

Glad to have you join, this will be a lot of fun.

[kenhuntin]

I will be a team player. Thanks for the invite. I will do my best for the small amount of time I am expecting to be on the water this year. You probably want to chose me last round.

[Ryan]

Ok, I'll play.  I would suggest making me a low pick.  I do have a full week of fishing in June though.

[Spinach]

We ended up with 15 players, which is perfect for (5) three person teams.

2. Buckhuntercody (Captain)
3. Northerngal (Captain)
4. Tim
5. Rocketman
6. Fawkinnae
7. Babes
8. Madbobo
9. Bowhunter73 (Captain)
10. G.G

12. Leech Angler (Captain)
13. 3willy
14. Kenhuntin
15.(hed)rocks

We need 2 more volunteer captains from this list...... Who will do this? Does tomorrow early evening work for the draft, it will probably only take 10 minutes or so? Otherwise we can draft on Sunday evening if that works better.

All we need is for the captains to be available at the same time, so we can assign the draft order. Otherwise if you all trust me, i can pick cards and post the order here?

We will do a snake draft like this.

Round #1
Team 1
Team 2
Team 3
Team 4
Team 5

Round #2
Team 5
Team 4
Team 3
Team 2
Team 1

[Spinach]

Ok, I am grabbing 5 cards from the deck 1 through 5.

I will draw in this order.... Whatever card i pick for each captain will be the order of the draft.

**Note** This is not the draft order, but the order that i will pick the cards for each captain.

NG
3willy
Rchaze
Leech Angler
Buckhuntercody

Once I pick the cards and announce the draft order, we will try to have the draft right away. I will have Leech Angler and Rchaze on the phone and the rest will hopefully be online.

This is the only way i can figure this to work out.

[Spinach]

**Draft order**

1. Leech Angler
2. Northerngal

It looks very even to me.

I think you are getting your team confused with Team #1.   

[Ryan]

Looks like I got lucky and ended up on a good team.  There are bigger fish up north.  I guess I can just take the season off and let the rest of the team do all the work.

[Tami]

Yeah i knew you wont be doing alot of fishing Hed... but i wanted ya on our team..

I will be out alot.. if not everyday for a few hours any ways and rain doesn't bother me..

I know Babe goes out all the time as well..

I think we have a great team...

Babe the rebel
HedRocks the rocker

[Fawkinnae]

Well I'm mighty happy and proud to be on the Team #4 Team.

Rchaze
Fawkinnae
Bowhunter73

I see great success in our future. Let's get started on our yoga program right away.

[kenhuntin]

I guess I am very pleased with the results of the draft. It feels good to already be on the #1 team

[jkrash]

Count me in

[Fawkinnae]

Did I understand correctly that each picture must have a picture of our fishing license in it? Is that so we aren't submitting pictures of someone elses fish? I know I'm going to forget to do this.

[Spinach]

No its to prove the fish was caught in the 2008 season. We dont need to see the name on the license just the 08 visible.
