April 2015 Florida Bragging Rights

Capt. BassinLou · March 31, 2015, 08:33:55 PM

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Yes you are reading this correctly. FLBR new year is in April. $:-\$

I wanted to welcome all of you into a New Year. Clean slate. Past is the past, looking forward to the present and future. Last year was our inaugural year here on Ultimate Bass. We are looking forward in continuing to grow in Fl participation. The rules are simple. Go fish and you have an entire month to post your longest five. Winner, simply gets Bragging Rights. This competition runs month to month.

Now..... for the few that want to take this to the next level. Today opens up our yearly challenge as well. The Florida Bragging Rights Angler of the Year race officially has begun boys.

Trust me, its going to be competitive. Your month to month participation allows you to accumulate points toward the AOY. Depending on where you place at the end of the month will determine how many points will be awarded to you. For example if you make 1st place you are awarded 10pts. 2nd place gets 9 pts, 3rd receives 8pts, so forth and so on.

This year we also have two bonus point categories. One category is the Big Fish bonus. If you were fortunate enough to catch the longest fish of the month you will be awarded 2pts. Our next bonus is the 100" challenge. Any angler who achieves this feat will not only receive a 2 pt bonus, but will also be included in our very own BR Century Club.

I am very excited to kick this off. Please read over our rules: http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?topic=122445.0

If they work for you, by just saying your "in" means you have accepted and understand these rules.

Good luck every one!!

First question

Do the bonus points go toward the monthly score or do they go toward AOY points?

To the AOY. Monthly numbers are just length's.

Only the fish you measure count as "Inches" for the monthly total. What you score in Inches compared to where everyone else scores in Inches determines where in the Monthly Contest you place.

Where you place in the Monthly Contest is how you get your points for the AOY Race. Place 1st get 10 points, 2nd 9, 3rd 8 Etc through 10 places. That number or points you earned for placing gets the Bonus Points added to it for the AOY Race.

Get 1st place and have the longest fish? You get 10 points for 1st PLUS 2 points for the big fish for 12 points towards the AOY Race.

The most anyone can make any month would be 14 points if they place 1st, with the longest (big fish) fish, and have over 100 inches in total.

Hope that is simple enough that everyone can understand.

Welcome back Rick!!

Thanks, I am looking forward to posting more duck pron on here. I also missed out on fish pron on Sunday. Should have taken pics of the spawning.
Seems I take more pictures of random critters than fish
