2013 OSF Ontario Multi-species Challenge
I was getting ready for work this morning and thought...Hm...it would be interesting to have a multi-species challenge for the members of OSF, since I love multi-species fishing so much myself.

I hope this challenge can encourage members to target new and exciting, and sometimes obscure, species, fish new locations and learn new techniques. As anglers, we are always learning and it is great to look outside of the box.

So...here's the proposal.

1) Competition season starts on January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

2) All fish species (native, introduced, invasive, micro) counts.

3) Fishing locations restricted to Ontario ONLY.

4) No restriction on fishing method, that is, icefishing, trolling, bottom bouncing, float fishing...etc, are all accepted.

5) All fish must be caught legally, that is, within open season, hook and line only (no snagging or bowfishing) and within waters open for fishing for the particular species (no sanctuaries or targeting fish that has year round closures). No exceptions for incidental catches (that is, if you were steelhead fishing after trout season opens and you caught a walleye when walleye season is still closed, you cannot count the walleye when it is caught out of season at that location).

6) Species entry can only be counted when photographs clearly show identifying characteristics. A blurry picture will disqualify the species entry. All entries can only count with a picture of the angler and a 2013 OSF OMC badge (can be printed out and laminated). In some cases, a second closeup picture may be needed for identification purposes.

Maybe a prize can be award at the end of the competition. Michael and I can chat about that. But I think bragging rights is probably more important Big Grin

Oh, and since I proposed it, I can't compete in it...but I can be the moderator and the judge.

Holy Crap!!!!

This is amazing!!
Great idea Ken Tongue I'd love to participate.

Just one thing... where do I get this OSF OMC badge? Is it being made or have I just never come across it? Big Grin

Well, the 2013 OSF Ontario Multi-species Challenge badge has yet to be made...but will be made...in time for the challenge.

It'll be an official OSF logo with the addition of OMC 2013 text added. The badge is required so that people don't cheat and use an old picture as a new entry Wink

We can make it into a printable PDF file so that you can print it out at home and laminate it for the challenge.

Love this idea. We can create a new subforum for the contest, and each member can post their entries in their own thread?

The 2013 OSF Multi-species Challenge.

We will also need a sample entry posted, showing how to properly photography fish for identification.

I would suggest printing a new badge for each calender month, or else a fish out of season could be kept and entered later when in season...

I would suggest posting the rig setup and the lure or bait you used.

Or perhaps you could use that days (or fairly recent) front page headline area of a recognized newspaper in the picture. And require that all entries be posted within 1 week of that species season closing.

I think that may be a bit over the top. I think it would only be if someone wanted to share their methods. But it's not something that really needs to be disclosed. It doesn't provide enough significance to be included Tongue
