Tips for posting fish in the Challenge!

Here are some tips when taking pictures to post fish in the challenge. As judges we can blow up pictures to see your measurements. But poor photos makes it hard for us to verify your catch. A fish board is the way to go but a good tape measure or a Aluminum yard stick works just as well.

Please put the nose of your fish on the zero of your tape.

Try and have your photo taken with the fish mouth closed ( yes we know this is hard )

Fish photos need the entire fish and the MNO bobber in the picture, taking a photo of the tail and tape is not a legal fish as we can not see where the head is.

Get as close as you can and take your photo looking down at the fish and tape. Very hard to see when photos are taken from the side.

For the most part we are taking your word on the size you claim for your fish and your photo helps us confirm it. A poor shot or an unreadable tape may disqualify your entry.

When we do have a problem photo the Judges do confer and make a ruling on the fish.

When posting your fish give us your measurement and what team you want it scored for! Remember you need a posted fish to enter into the Grand Prize drawings and also posted fish go into the drawing for a Wallhangers gift certificate for each month.

Please mark your bobber on more then one side with MNO and or MWO so it can be seen in your photo.

I heard a rumor...Does it matter what color the bobber is?
You never see a FLAG BURNING at a GUN SHOW.

Just a round bobber with either mno or mwo written on it.
Make it clear enough to read.
White and red with black letters is easier to see when judging photo's.
But, other colors will work.
