Question: What is the Fishing Contest and Big Pike Contest?
Answer: There are two separate contests. The Big Pike Contest is totally separate from the fishing contest. You must buy a separate ticket for each contest but you are not required to buy both. You may chose to fish both or one or the other. Weigh-in for all fish will be at Critters Wolf River Sports in Winneconne.
Question: How many fish can I Register?
Answer: Each contestant may register one fish per purchased ticket with no limit to number of tickets an individual can purchase. All regulations apply to this rule and no person may bring in more than the legal limit of fish allowed.
Question: What time do I have to register my fish?
Answer: Contestants are encouraged to weigh fish as early as possible as a tie breaker will go to the person who weighs the fish the earliest. All contestants must have their fish registered by 4:00 pm. At 4:00 pm the scales will close and anyone who has not registered their fish will not be allowed to. A quick tip to increase your odds.....Purchase 2 tickets and weigh a fish early then go back out to try for the big one. If you don’t have a big fish by the end of the day, register any other fish which will give you 2 chances to win. Example of how the payout works.....If contestant "A" brings in a fish that weighs 2.43 lbs. at 9:30am and contestant "B" brings in a fish that weighs 2.43 lbs. at 2:15pm, contestant "A" would get 24th place and contestant "B" would get 25th place. Contestant "B" would then win whatever prize at 25th place. (24th and 25 place are just relative and can be any place. this is simply an example of how the tie breakers works)
