Right on JR!!
If someone doesn't like how it's being run, they can use the opportunity to seek enjoyment elsewhere!! ....like go shopping with the wife
Mabey the "household item in the pic" would be a good thing. If it gets big enough, sooner or later, someone will try some fancy dancing...
But give it at least one more year...if it becomes too much, make a decision after the fact.
my $.02.
Had a great time last year and agree with most if it's a stresser let it go.
But if it's a fun event (which it is) it's going to grow I don't think that can be stopped. So the issue is the fear of cheating, which isn't a surprise becasue I had more than one person ask, you caught that fish today? Becasue of the almost bluebird like conditions in the Musky shot compared to the overcast day it was on the water and in my Pike shot.
I also remember the quality photo of the winning Musky and know without some sort of editing software it may have been hard to see an item smaller than a basketball in that photo. So I thought I would throw my opinion into the ring where it can be quickly picked up or shat on whichever the case may be.
Prizes all same price range.
Money goes to Charity.
Some sort of 50/50 split or whatever. Then anyone who would be cheating would hopefully stay away.
Fun for all is the overall goal afterall.
I would preregister you could hold it at the various Musky group meetings a month or two before. Or at Broadways a couple Thursday night before or whatever is most convient for you.

Oh ya having caught the second biggest Musky and 3rd or 4th Largest Pike last year maybe a prize for total inches of fish...LOL

Well I do not think the household item thing will work. Every picture of a pike or musky I have has some household item in it planning for you to make this decision..ahahaha.. I have prepaired and waited for you to make this mistake......I will keep shut now as I have said to much
How about a specific code or number with each pic J. Has to be given to you before launch time or sometime thruout the day. Just like we do on Bountyfishing.com. So you could post it the night before the derby on here and people are responsible for jotting it down.
Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.
Your photos can easily be viewed via a laptop at the restaurant....piece of cake....
As far as having an item in the pic....just make up tickets for the random draw for prizes.....when you pay in the morning....you get one half....the other half goes in the draw.....have your half in the picture with your fish....set a time....if yer late....yer not in....unless you pre-register with J.
You've done a great job with this J....keep it simple...
I haven't joined you guys in the derby yet, but it seems pretty simple to me, it's your derby, you make the rules, post them before hand and if some folks don't like it, too bad, either accept it or don't join.
As RJ said, keep it simple and the focus on fun!
I must agree...it is indeed an unforgivable thing for the organizer to win his own derby...then again, I also think he should have to wear Jamies multi-coloured clown wig annually.

Stranger things have happened...Let us know soon , before the birds make their nest out of these muskie lures I have hanging out in one of the trees in my back yard...
They've been out for a week now and the birds have taken a real likeing to them....
There will be an influx of Great Grey Owls in the winter of 2017

I freaking knew I'd never live down wearing that plastic bag like fishing ensemble. However, fashion aside, it served me well at the neverending rain at Lake Kash!
