Interesting idea! Offering a significant cash prize for a new state record carp would, at the very least, bring the organization to the forefront and get it some much-needed publicity.
On the other hand, for a fish to be recognized as a state record, many (most ?) states require the angler to bring the fish to some location for formal identification and weighing. Usually, since most anglers don't have the necessary equipment to transport such a large fish while keeping it alive, that means that the fish is killed in the process. That goes against one of the primary goals of our group, to "promote the catch and release of trophy fish".
That presents a dilemma -- is it ever appropriate to go against the group's own C&R goal in order to further promote the group?
Got to be honest didn't think it right thru, but a fish that beats the state record would qualify you need not claim the record officially, which may even draw attention to that problem too.

Put a prize up for a state record carp any of lower 48, all the usual rules single hooks, rod and line only. witnesses etc.
Make it $1000 for arguments sake, set up an accn't where members can donate towards what the club cant afford to put in it.
Make it open to anyone rather than pushing people to join to enter. Maybe some extra prizes, tackle bait etc on top if your a member

Thanks for pointing that one out, i wouldn't have known without digging around and appologies if ive offended anyone
-
Nice fish, the last pic and descrition made me laugh,
-
Nice scale pattern on that mirror, glad your effort was rewarded.

Pretty corny, looks plenty good enough to eat.

That looks nothing like Tom

Mick, I understand your point, and vendors continue to be nothing but generous in providing prizes for fish-ins and tourneys.
Yes they're an exceptional bunch
It was nice to get the discounts, too, but that's not why I'm a member of CAG (and I'm not implying thats why you are). I continue to be a member because it continues to be of value to me re: fish-ins, NACA, the forums, etc.
Couldn't agree more, theres a lot more to it than that, i was just saying that there is a % that need something on paper/physical to commit any money.

I know this is one that gets mentioned now and again, when i first joined there was a 10% discount from some vendors, to me this seemed to be a deal maker for a lot of people. I'm not complaining about it being gone myself but if there was an obvious benefit i think more people would pay their membership.
Maybe a one off dicount voucher from a willing vendor for 2 yrs + membership that way it would be worth it when people want bigger tackle items,
this is a loose idea i know there'd be a lot of if,whens and but's, maybe theres a good workable varition to this.
Great weekend session!
