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!

Nice, go get 'em Captain!
Will there be any additional points or whatever for catching bass on a fly-rod?

[sparrajuana]

Is there an Australian equivalent fish? Grunter or bream perhaps? O man i want in. If not i still want a patch.

[Muscles Marinara]

I'm half tempted to go fishing right now just so I can post the first catch. Actually, fuck it, I'm goin' for it, I wanna fire the first shot here. Back later..............

The title of this tourney states that it is an annual event. I like that aspect.
