2009 Brownie Troop Bass Derby!
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 vealmarsala@gmail.com to qualify. Good luck out there!

Ok. I worked on measuring today... This is unofficial, of course. Lets say this fish is 10" even, with a girth of 7". Multipling the length by the length gives me 100. Then I multiply that by 7, giving me 700. I take the 700 and divide that by 1200, and I get a whopping 0.058 pound fish.
I'm going to have to work on my photo technique, to get the numbers clearer in the picture
