Tips for the 2011 ice fishing challenge contestants.

[DDSBYDAY]

  This challenge will run the same as the open water challenge.  Please review this thread to see how to enter your fish. http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/index.php?topic=24225.0  

     Catching is one part of it.  Taking the pic with the ruler, the fish, and the staple item is another.    This contest will take place in extreme temps in some circumstances.  If you plan on releasing the fish you will have to act fast.  I would suggest some kind of fish trough.  I plan on using a thin strip of plastic wrap to keep the fish from flopping out.  We would like the mouth closed.  That will not always be possible but these judges will make the call.  Their word is final.   You may submit another pic if you would like a re score.  The second pic must still meet all the requirements.     The staple item will be announced after the teams are drawn.  Good luck.
