2002 Online Fishing
Tournament for Charity
Welcome to our 1st annual online "fish for charity"
tournament. This tournament is meant for all to enjoy so were gonna make it
easy to enter. To enter all you need is a picture of the fish with some sort of
measuring device (tape measure, yardstick, etc.) clearly showing its length. Every
entrant gets his name on the entrants list for that species of fish throughout the year.
(Contest runs from Jan 1, 2002 to Sept. 30, 2002). No lengths will be posted until
the end of the tournament i.e. Sept. 30, 2002. The top 2 fish in each species
category along with the fish that is closest to the average for all that species entries
(without going over) split the total entry fees for that category (50/30/20) and will have
their winnings donated to a charity/organization of their choice! (i.e. OFAH, Ducks
Unlimited, Canadian Cancer Society, so long as they have an office in Ontario).
These will be the categories of fish
Walleye - Pike - Muskie - Smallmouth Bass - Largemouth Bass
Lake Trout - Brook Trout - Perch - Chinook Salmon - Rainbow Trout
The top three winners also get a hat and a t-shirt from us and the top 3
pictures stay up on this website for a year so you can brag away!! - until we announce the
2003 winners!!
To enter all you need to do is send a picture of the fish, clearly showing
length, with the following information, Anglers name, signature, address, phone #, species
of fish and length along with $2.00 to:
