This thread is only for the posting of 2011 MNO Challenge fish, do not make any comments here, but you are welcome to in the smack talk thread. Any comments made, will be removed from the post by a moderator.
We want this thread as clean as possible for scoring purposes.

All fish must be photographed along side a clearly visible outstretched tape measure (Fish board recommended) and must include the staple item. This year’s staple item is a white spinner bait with MNO printed on the white area of the blade. If you wish to clip the hook for safety reasons, this is acceptable. This must be included in your photo. Do not use a picture of the staple item in your photo, it will disqualify the photo. Please take the best photo possible, poor photographs may be disqualified.   

The entire fish must be in the picture and it is important that the nose of fish is up against the edge of the tape or fish measuring board. Any one of three judges will look at the submitted picture and give it a thumbs up. That means the fish will be scored for your team. Fish pictures must be posted by the last day of the contest, no late or early entries will count. Fish must be measured with a closed mouth; an open mouth will result in a deduction in length decided by the judges. All rulings are final.
:happy1: from the judge means your fish has been scored for your team...

There is a minimum size for your fish to be entered. Bass will need to be 14" or larger. Walleye or Sauger, 18" or larger. Northern Pike, 24" or larger. Fish will be measured to the nearest ¼ inch down and upgrades may be made in ¼ inch units. (Example a walleye at 21 and 3/8 will be scored as 21 and ¼)  There is no limit to how many times you can upgrade your catch. Remember that your team’s largest fish in each category will determine your final entry length.

Here is an example of the staple item:

Thank you and good luck!

Sorry Cody. All three Judges looked at it and there is no "MNO" on the spinner bait. We are in agreement that we will have to disqualify your fish.
