For quick reference: ANY BASS caught in 2010 is eligible but there are a few simple rules.  
1.  
2. The bass (no matter of species) must be in a picture (preferably with a ruler) and the letters LLY to determine that it is a 2010 fish.  
3. Length, body of water caught on and verification of 2010 (See rule 2) must be submitted with post/picture.  
4. More rules may come [;)]

On to the good stuff. Up for grabs is a black BFT t-shirt with logo on front and back. A white long sleeve shirt with logo on front and back and [bigfishtackle.com](http://bigfishtackle.com) on sleeve. A Skeet Reese Senko+Frog rod and custom poured baits to be displayed soon. I do not have the backing of BFT on this contest and the money for these prizes are coming out of my own pocket. Pictures will be examined carefully.  
More to come.

Sure why not. Curt,John, steve or myself can’t compete. So if you win, wear the shirt with pride. Good luck.

March 7, 2010

Heading to river today. Hopefully I’ll have a pic to post when I get home. Last year this early in march I caught a 5lb smallmouth at the spot I’m going today.

Thanks for the competition. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year of fishing!

EDIT: NOTHING… GOT A STRIKE EARLY THEN NOTHING… arkanas is slow right now

guess I’m out of the running. I would have to drive about 140 miles to catch any striped bass and no Largemouth is going to beat those.

LLY has to be in the pic to verify that it’s a 2010 bass.

So it’s fair to all that the fish were caught this year. Also private ponds are excluded. Not fair to all that fish public waters.

Fair is fair, I feel pretty confident that you are the winner. Send me a pm with your address and I’ll ship you the Skeete Reese rod and some baits to go with it. I’m out of town right now but when I get back, couple weeks, I’ll get a tube to ship it and send it out. Congratulations!
