FISHING DERBY DETAILS:


Once you purchase a ticket(s) we will mail you an official laminated derby ticket.

Then go fishing, and when you catch a fish, you can enter it by taking a picture with a measuring tape and the ticket clearly shown and upload it to this site. Please try to show the length of the fish as accurately as possible. If the fish is close to the limits of a category entry, the forum moderators will decide the final outcome of the entry using our best judgment.

The Derby will run from Feb 11th, 2023 to Mar 15th, 2023

After the close of the derby, all entries in each category will be collected together and a random winner will be drawn from the entries. Random draw will be a LIVE streaming event on Youtube.

Prize payout will be Bass Pro / Cabelas Gift cards, Canadian Tire Gift cards and Amazon Gift cards of various amounts depending on the category won. Prizes will be mailed to the winners. Winner can choose type of Gift cards they prefer.
