2009 Brownie Troop Bass Derby!

[Muscles Marinara]

The 2009 Inaugural Brownie Troop Bass Derby is now officially underway. The tournament will run now thru Sunday, October 25 and end at 11:59pm EST. There will be two divisions, one for Largemouth Bass and one for Smallmouth Bass. To register you need to send $10 cash and a standard 4-1/8 in. x 9-1/2 self addressed stamped envelope to Brownie Troop P.O. Box 324 New Hope, PA 18938. In return we will send you an entry number as well as a derby patch which will serve as proof of your registration.

The grand prizes have been donated by Shimano Fishing Corporation, a beautiful Citica Casting combo with Compre Rod for the winner of the Largemouth division, and and an awesome Sahara spinning outfit with Compre Rod for the winner of the Smallie division.

Total weight of your fish will be determined by using the standard weight calculator for Bass:

length x length x girth divided by 1,200=weight

Hopefully this won’t be too complicated for most of you. We are doing it this way to encourage catch and release. There is a gentlemanly aspect to this derby, we trust that none of you will cheat. You must photograph your fish laid up against a tape measure clearly showing the length and girth, and get your patch in the photo too as well. We are creating a forum for the fishing derby which can be found at http://brownietroop.ning.com We highly encourage you to post pictures and comments in this thread. The last derby was a huge success and we hope this one is even better. All fish must be landed using rod and reel.

All photographs must be mailed to [e-mail] to qualify. Good luck out there!

christ! haven't checked up on this in a while, and glad I didn't. congrats to both winners. if you don't want people trolling then put it in the rules next time, and catching spawners is harder than some think, they aren't always super aggressive. although if you put a 1/2 alka seltzer inside one of those tubes... watch out!

My buddy Marco was down in the Yucatan this weekend. He said conditions were brutal, but he ended up catching some fish - bones and this cuda.

No, I really didn't take offense to it. But if you need to think that to make yourself feel better about taking such offense to our comments, then go for it. Whatever it takes for you to start licking your wounds ffg...

:) Nice research ffg, I forgot about that. I just figured I was getting my balls busted a little. But I guess I should have taken a huge offense to it though, right?
Look, I've never said that you're not a good fisherman, you're good at trolling and catching big fish. All I was ever saying was that I thought trolling in a bass tournament was lame. If that makes me an elitist prick to you, than I guess I am.
Also, not to sound like an elitist prick, but our fishing holes are public.

I was a contestant - not the person who regulates the rules. If someone blasted you and it made a difference then you might have a point. I stated my opinion and I stick to it.

Let it go...
