Upgraded
 

I know it does not matter at this point...the bar has been re-set very high...but I managed to upgrade this weekend, not by much but, nice fish.

Fish measured 32 7/8"

Looks like we all have to put some work in to catch up! :reeling:

Congrats on your Upgrade!:cheers1::reel:

Just a reminder as per the stated rules, & all current submissions have been without the requested time-stamp feature enabled on ones camera. Please make sure your date & timestamp have been set on your cameras & you email me the original photos within five days of catch please.
On account of several PM's I am considering allowing it to be just tape measure format instead of scale decision due to calibration differences if all are in accordance with?..

Re:
Must have time-stamped, UN-edited, UN-cropped, RAW photo(s) from your camera emailed within 5 days of catch to Wade please. Direct upload not hosted on another site. I will not discuss or make public any Anglers catch until event Awards.
(In addition to emailing Wade the original files within 5 days of catch, You can always post your catch anytime if you desire..)
O.T.W. Shot with your catch and background, Tape Shot/Fork length.
Weight/Scale photo. (*Tentatively may remove scale/weight as the deciding factor & use taped out*)
You may Upgrade your fish as many times as you want.

Wade,

is there a way to set up the time stamp for pictures on an iphone? if there is, i'm not finding the way... i don't really want to take another camera on the water if i don't have to... is there information from the original photo that will show the time and date... anyhow, maybe i could take a pic of the fish with a same day newspaper? any ideas?

thanks, theluckypig

If using an iphone smartphone ect, no need to add time-stamp it already has that stored inside the photo. just dont crop or edit it, and email the original file to me please.

if using a handheld camera enable the time-stamp feature. thanks in advance.

great, thanks

Taped out definitely the easiest. Now I wont have to find/buy scale too:D
And easier if anyone wants to C&R.

Going to search for my 1st legal on Friday, wish me luck!!!

Time stamped photos in itself is flawed in that the operator can set it to whatever they want. If someone is going to cheat they are going to find a way to do it.

I don't carry a camera on my kayak so the only option I have is to use the GPS TAG feature that is available on my galaxy phone.

When you download the Picture as a file to your computer it should have a time date stamp of when the file was created. Like john said you can probably change the dates around if you wanted to...but who would do that??? Ther're no cheaters here right?

Would be nice if everyone who has caught a fish for this tournament would post it up, just to keep things interesting and fun. Speaking of fun...where's your 40lber Wade??? You catch that thing yet?:p

I agree, I'm confident no one will do anything to cheat but it does make sense to have each fish posted within a reasonable amount of time(2 days or so).

OK - just cashed in my 10 free burritos @ Chipotle coupon from the Bass Tourney! Bill came to $101 - pretty damn good for a $10 entry fee!

The whole crew here at work are fat and happy with orders for me to get my fat a$$ out this weekend and catch a good halibut so we can go out again.

I need to get on the board with at least something - only a month left...

Nothing spectacular, just posting a catch, 26.5", didn't botherr to weigh it.

Congrats Dave!

BTW, just for this Halibut Derby we are doing length only & have omitted the scale.
