The Chattanooga Bass Yakkers are putting on a 3-month big fish tournament open to ANYBODY. We don't care if you fish from a boat, kayak, dock, or from shore. We don't care if you fish in TN, GA, or any other state. We don't care if you use artificial or live bait. This tournament is open to ANYONE!

Tournament Dates:
November 1st, 2013 through January 31st, 2013.

Tournament Fee:
$20 will get you into both Bass and Crappie divisions.

Format:
This is a 3-month long catch/photo tournament. For an entry fee of $20, you can submit an unlimited amount of fish pictures for judging. The only criteria for the fish will be length measured in inches. After the 3-month timeframe, the angler with the biggest bass and the angler with the biggest crappie will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, date/time of the submission will serve as the tiebreaker.

Measuring/Photo:
All fish will be photographed on a measuring device (bumpboard, tape measure, etc). The entire fish shall be visible in the photograph. Each fish shall be measured with mouth closed. The tournament token you receive after registration shall be visible in each picture submitted. Each picture will be submitted to [email protected] for judging.

Registration:
To register, email [email protected] with the following information:
Name
Address
Phone Number
Email address

We will reply with instructions on sending payment through Paypal. If cash is preferred, let us know and we can arrange for that as well.

Once registered, you will be mailed a tournament token with numbers. This will be your unique registration number and will be used for identification. Remember, the token must be visible in all photos for the catch to be eligible!

We will update the leaderboard often so everyone knows what it takes to beat the current leader. We will also update our facebook page and this forum with pictures of the leading fish.

Payout:
The tournament payout will be a 60/40 payout. 40% of the entry money will go to the Chattanooga Bass Yakkers. 60% of the entry money will be split between the two divisions, 30% for Bass and 30% for Crappie.

Let me know if there are any questions!
 
We hope to get t-shirts, stickers, and prizes to give away at our 2014 tournaments. Will also help with travel expenses to regional tournaments.
 
We've got a few guys already signed up! Next Friday will be November 1st and the start of the 3-month submission period. If you plan on fishing at ALL this winter, this would be a good tournament to enter. For only $20, you'll have 3 months to enter your biggest bass, crappie, or both and have a shot at winning some money.
 
Submission period starts tomorrow!

Remember, boaters are welcome to register for this 3-month tournament. Even if you only get to fish a couple times this winter, you could still end up with the biggest bass or crappie.
 
Let the games begin! We've had some more entries come through and I'm looking forward to seeing the photo submissions.

Announcement: This wouldn't be possible without networking and word of mouth. Because of that, if you refer 2 paid anglers, your entry fee will be waived! If you've already registered, I will refund your entry back. All you have to do is email me the two names that will be registering and once they've paid, you'll get free entry.
