What about a 50/50 or 25/75 style derby for forum members? There could be a low minimum size length to get yourself into the draw. Could even be catch and release if you were quick with the tape and the camera. $40 paid up before May first would get you your $10 per month for the months of May June July and August. Actually maybe as long as the $10 was in before the last day of the previous month we would raise more money if the word got out over the summer resulting in each months totals growing. There would be a draw each month. So you would have four chances to win. We could come up with a predetermined list of fishing charities from all over the province. Each month’s winner keeps their share of that month’s money and chooses, from the list, their favorite charity for the other portion to go to. On the night before the first of each month a common fishing item can be announced and that must be in the pic to get your fish entered. You have a month to catch a fish that qualifies and post it to the forum.
Using Owens numbers, if 200 members entered, your $10 could get you between $500 and $1000 and four charities would get $1000 or $1500 each depending on the split decided on.
I was bummed that I was unable to enter last years Banana Challenge as I really liked the aspect that any fish can win. A month of fish pics to look at isn’t a bad thing either as everyone posts their pics and the stories that go with them.
I like the BBQ at the end of the summer idea as the other big aspect of this thing is the get together. Not sure how to deal with that if we are going to involve the whole province.
Just my thoughts after reading the posts from today. I’m sure there is a million different logistical hurdles and maybe even legal ones but thought I would keep the conversation going.

More details to be posted hopefully by March 1st. Just working out a few last details.
