Hey guys! appleye PM'd me about the possibility of a 'Wyoming Bragging Board' thread to keep track of the great catches you guys have in the Great State of Wyoming! So we're looking for some input here. If there's enough interest I'll start an 'Official WY Bragging Thread' and appleye will be in charge of the administration of the thread and entries. So far...

1) All fish caught on the ice in Wyoming
2) State where the fish was caught
3) Must have a picture of the person holding the fish on the ice and a picture of the length with some sort of measuring device, yard stick, tape measure etc
4} Any kind of fish allowed

Anything else?

Let's do it! But if I can add a reccomendation of just doing this year's pics. Then next year another "bragging board"

I agree with Trent and I would add that we keep it Wyoming fish only....

appleye · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 02, 2018, 08:18 PM »

POk3s I agree must be caught in the present. How do we show when caught? Time stamp of some sort?
"State where caught" means lake in Wyoming.

POk3s · « **Reply #4 on:** Dec 02, 2018, 08:26 PM »

I think just as long as it's explained in the initial headline it will be fine.

I think "state where caught" meant to explain where caught....not the actual state hahaha

wyoutdoors · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 02, 2018, 08:48 PM »

You guys get the "rules" ironed out and I'll start an official thread in the stickies at the top of the board so it doesn't get lost too deep in the forum. Will there be a limited number of fish categories? Or just anything goes?

appleye · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 02, 2018, 10:58 PM »

Rules:
All fish to be entered are caught on the ice in the state of Wyoming 2018/2019
Any kind of fish allowed.
To enter include photograph of the fish photographed on the ice outside by the person who caught it, include a photo of the fish being measured with some sort of measuring device, ruler, tape measure etc... Include the the lake and date fish was caught.
Have fun!

Prize: Bragging rights until someone catches the next larger fish!

How does this look to everyone?

I love it, let’s do it.

I agree - I'm in!

Appleye lets make the end date later for those of use who have fishable ice into April. I would just say the 2018-2019 ice season then next year make it the 2019-2020 season and so on. I really like the idea though and hope it works out.

Make it easy. If you're on ice, post it up.

Also, if it's a "bragging board", should we just make a threshold of a certain size to post??

For example, id rather see a gob of lake trout over 10 lbs, compared to someone posting an 18 lber and nobody posting another because they can't beat it.

Same with all the perch over 13", rather than only seeing a few!

massNtrash · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 03, 2018, 12:22 PM »

I completely agree with trent I want to see all nice fish caught in wyoming not just the biggest one or two of each kind a year.

By the way Trent you should have stuck it out this morning the sun is out and all of the roads are melting off now you could be out chasing those 13" perch instead of sitting by the fire dreaming about them lol.

POk3s · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 03, 2018, 12:25 PM »

Hahaha I know it. It was the 5 AM travel over south pass that turned me back. Probably would've got skunked anyways

massNtrash · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 03, 2018, 12:39 PM »

Nah you would have at least found another dink ling lol

POk3s · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 03, 2018, 12:46 PM »

That was one time! Hahahaha

lippy · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 03, 2018, 01:22 PM »

sounds fun but we need the start date before the 15th of December. we can get on most years by Thanksgiving over here.

wyoutdoors · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 03, 2018, 02:41 PM »

Once you get everything hammered out, list them in a post below and I'll get it into the stickies for everyone.

It's a bragging board. If I catch a 3" fish on a 4" spoon it's worth bragging just like a 30" fish would be.

I'll take catching a carp or catching nothing any day. They fight hard.
