Added Special Contests for 1st Annual "Taco Trip 2004" - California Fishing

PlatinumHooks · 07-24-2004, 09:08 PM

Taco Trip 2004 designers and co-host:

the California Custom Angling Co.,

have added yet another custom detail to the trip in August. We will be giving out great prizes for the following contests:

1.) Smallest fish on live bait (weight wise)

2.) Smallest fish on artificial lure (weight wise)

3.) Biggest fish on lightest line (weight wise)

(no cheating, we have ways to measure the tensile strength of the line, yep!!)

you can win these contests in addition to sigining up for, and winning the standard charter "jackpot" contest which is of course won by having the heaviest fish / all tackle.

See ya there!!!

3.) Biggest fish on lightest line (weight wise)

How does that work? If I catch a 5 pound fish on 4 # line, and someone catches a 4 pound fish on 2# line. Who wins?

The 4lb fish would win because it is the biggest fish on the LIGHTEST line. 2# being lighter than 4#, etc... I want to see you pick up a pelagic 4lb fish on 2lb

lol "i need a gaff, its a sardine!"

maybe you guys need some sort of equation to make it fair. like weight of fish divided by the tinsil strength.

Actualy, here's how the "biggest fish on lightest line" contest works:
It's a ratio between the heaviest fish to the the line rating that was used to land it. Example:

If an angler landed a 4lb Calico Bass on 2 lb test, the weight to line ratio is that the fish is two times heavier than the line test rating.

If another angler lands a 20lb Yellowtail on 8lb test, that fish is two and a half times heavier than the line test rating,

the yellowtail wins.

BTW, if anyone thinks that they will be able to land a 4lb Calico out of a kelp bed, on 2lb test, without a 99.9% chance of that fish breaking off, they best have Jesus with them. Not saying it's impossible, but must consider the serrated edges of that fishes mouth rubbing up against 2lb test in a kelp bed.....hmmmm?......Buh-Bye!

P.S. If anyone pulls that off, I'll personally make sure that they get a really cool prize, aside from any of the contests.
