Title: Who has a good contest idea?
Post by: djkimmel on August 20, 2007, 11:33:46 PM
Okay... been a while, I know. I've got a prize or two... but the old contest noggin is not working right now. Anyone have a good contest idea that is fair and works for a forum?? PM or email to me and I'll see if one works out to give away a prize or two.

Maybe....who could submit the best fishing picture (with the GLB member in the photograph for authenticity purposes) and have a poll to see who wins...
That way we could put some faces with the names.

Weird coincidence!!! I was just watching a show I won't mention yet - the host was catching a relative of that very fish. It was awesome!!!

Anyone got a guess? I might be able to dig out something from the prize vault for the first one who gets it right...

If you'd recently seen a picture of a Tiger Fish... no comparison. We're talking fang envy!!!

That's a very good idea too. Let me see if I can put something together.

For now, although I enjoyed Durand Dan's tigerfish guess, I'm going to award a special prize to Team houston for getting closest to the right fish. All-American Team houston guessed dogtooth snapper - right type of fish, wrong sub-species, but close enought to win a KaRu Vibraspin Size 2 black and blue - GUARANTEED to catch many, many bass this season!!!

Congratulations Team houston!! How do you want to get it? At the DK open?

The actual fish is a less common, usually deep snapper called a Cubera - an abnormally long variety of snapper:

Here is the dogtooth or dog snapper info:
