as for a polygraph since this is a tff informal event. we are counting on a little bit of integrity. everybody needs to remember this all started out as just a get together of the catfishermen on this forum we all seem to enjoy. figured this was a good way to put some names to faces. we figured a tourney would make it a little more interesting and to help make sure we had enough fish for everybody. i might be a little naive about this but i still think you can trust most people. if many others think this is a problem i am sure we can cancel the tourney and just have a fish fry.

So let me get this right.. You have to stop fishing in the middle of the tourney and go back to the pavillion and take a lunch break? lol Theres no lunch breaks during fishing tourneys .. lol You eat in your boat.. Kinda hard to catch fish at the pavillion .. Also you planning on giving a polygraph test to the winners? When there is a decent amount of money involved you have to keep people honest...If ya dont some ole boys gonna be running their trotlines and juglines all week and take their biggest five and tie em to a tree somewhere and come back to the weigh in and say lookie what we caught .. this 150-200lb stringer of bigguns! lol U might wanna rethink that one.. Just being honest, plenty of guys on this board fish tourneys and they will tell ya the same thing ... Food for thought.. Yes there will be a lunch break... as stated before, this all started as a get together meet and greet.... this will be a very laid back tournament... I actually want people to meet eachother and be able to put some faces with names... as far as the polygraph, I understand your concern... but no... there will be no polygraph... this is a TFF event, all the people attending will be TFF members or close friends and family of TFF members... I would hope we could all be honest here, and if we know someone is cheating or it is just plain obvious, than they will have to deal with us.. This is a family event, not a huge sponsored tournament with HUGE payouts...

Can we enter for both channel and blues or do we have to pick one?
Does everyone who enters have to be a member of the TFF? My wife does not get on this forum.
CW You can enter for both, but you will have to pay double... this is because the pots are going to be split.. but yes feel free to enter both... this doubles your chances of placing... And you do not have to be a member of TFF.. friends and of course family of TFF members are more than welcome!! Of course your wife is invited!!!

Tommy Gravley Not trying to be negative about this, Wrangler has done a good job with this whole event, but your kidding yourself or yes a bit naive if u think given the opportunity that some will try to win some easy money, any way they can.. Good luck with the tourney and watch out for that Big stringer..

Good luck with the tourney and watch out for that Big stringer.. I definately see your point... but we simply dont have the means to get a polygraph in place, and I honestly think it would take away from the laid back atmosphere... I really think/hope we wont have a problem, and we are really banking on some good ole honesty to come through for the event. Thank you very much for the compliment!

The only way to really have a big stringer is with Flat-Heads, because the big Blue's from 30" to 45" will have to be returned after Sept 1st in Lewisville, unless someone catches a monster Blue over 45" I think everybody will have the same opertunity to catch a winning stringer of fish. Like they said this is a meet & eat, the tournement is just extra, there is some money involved, but not a lot, and everyone has to stop for lunch, and go back fishing at the same time! I think it is a great idea!!!

ALSO TRAILERING WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED IN THE CASE OF BAD WEATHER. Call me a dumb***, but what is "trailering"?

It is where if the tournament ramp is inaccessible before or after the tournament, you can lauch or load your boat at another ramp, and drive over to the original ramp.... dumb***  JK

i would suggest most people to launch at ramp of their choosing. the gate at this park does not open till 6 am and i had to talk them into doing it for us. there is a lot of ramps on the lake which are open 24/7 and more convenient than driving to the park. if you come in the boat it doesnt cost an entry fee.

Ya that is true..
Ok sounds good to me.
Launch at any site you want. So if we launch at another ramp besides Hidden Cove do we have to drive our boat over to Hidden Cove and "check in" or can we just start fishing at 6:30 anywhere on the lake? CW

you can start fishing at 6am. that is one advantage to early registration. you probably dont want to trailer your boat to the colony when you live by denton.

Ya as long as you are registered you can start at 6am... I think we can trust you to not start til then!
But be sure to come check in at lunch or you will be DQ'd. Great. Thanks.
