Open to all registered GreatLakesBass.com members.¹

This is a paper tournament - catch, measure & release.*

IMPORTANT: Each boat will need a Largemouth Bass Weighmaster Golden Rule designed for catch and release with weight conversion based on length.²

Format is draw tournament with boater and nonboater fishing as a team. 5 biggest bass between the two or three team members will be counted to determine finish.

*Biggest non-bass fish brought in to weigh wins the coveted BIG UGLY prize! Fish must be in season and legally caught to count.

¹Please note:
Family members may be able to fish together. Please contact me directly by PM, phone 810-433-BASS (2277) or email to arrange this. I would prefer family members 18 and older be a registered member of GreatLakesBass.com. I will not request that for family members under 18 and prefer not to have family members 13 and under register due to federal privacy regulations. If you have a family member that wants to fish but not be a member, please contact me privately prior to the event. Youth 17 years or younger must be participating with a parent or legal guardian. Exceptions to this will need to be discussed with me in advance. Use the contact information above please. Thank you.

² If you don't have the correct paper tournament Weighmaster Golden Rule board (available from Gator) you can use a regular board. Measure the bass based on the farthest line the tail touches or goes over. Bring the board in to me and I can come up with a closest conversion in weights for you to finish tallying your weights - you probably won't get as much weight credit fyi. Please try to get the Weighmaster board from someone or some place. I don't have anymore extras and can't buy them at a discount anymore.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Nonboaters please bring life jackets to make sure we have enough. Life jackets must be worn zipped and/or buckled whenever the gas motor is running. Boater must use working kill switch when gas motor is running.

No live bait. Artificials only.

I try to make sure there are as few boats as possible with no one that knows the water. I can have a mini-seminar before we launch on where to fish for people who ask about it.

This event is all about everyone catching some fish, having fun and getting to know each other, and also to honor the memory one of our greatest members - David 'MadWags' Wagensomer!!! Thank you for being members of GreatLakesBass.com.

If you have anything new or like new you'd like to donate for prize giveaways, please contact me.

Post that you are attending, and if attending as a boater or nonboater in this thread please. It is easier for me to keep track if your status is in this thread rather than only through some other contact means. Thanks!

I'm in as non-boater for now.  Hopefully that changes, but we'll see.

[t-bone]

I'm in as a boater and will have sister-in-law (Laura) and nephew (Andrew) in the boat

Thanks

[Waterfoul]

You know I'll be there... not sure about bringing the boat yet. 

[dartag]

Will be there as a boater.

Unless I sell everything and join a cult....

[Mojo]

In - non boater

[TimH]

I'm in as a boater and I will have my buddy with me as well.  Its a smaller bass boat, so I don't think I'll be able to fit a third otherwise I would gladly take someone else along too.  Looking forward to fishing this, as my schedule has never allowed for me to attend in the past.
Also, count me in to donate a prize or two.  I'll get in contact with you Dan and let you know specifics of what I will donate.

   It shows you as a non boater.  That can't possibly be true with that beautiful boat of yours !!!!

[Firefighter Jeff]

   I made sure and took the time off earlier so I wouldn't miss out like last year.  I'll be there as a boater.   

[markgoetsch]

You know I'm in as a boater.  I can't wait to catch some giants and watch Mike try to put his rain jacket on!

[bigjc]

I am still mad that I forgot about last year's event.  Count me in as a boater!

[thedude]

Actually - my lovely wife inadvertently reminded me this will be her first mothers day.... so put me down as a maybe....... and yeah boater!

[Cy]

You have to remind her, she's not YOUR mother!  Leave flowers from junior and go fishing!

[Waterfoul]
