j,
Swimbait just called me and we discussed this very point. We agreed that to give guys sufficient time to post a catch from late in the month, that a three day window will be allowed.

I will be drawing up a preliminary guideline for the contest, and then let Rob go over it to see what he thinks. Then it will be posted, and everyone can weigh in on if they like the format or not.

Though I can't back track on the intial rules and ruling for the March contest, the 16 lb. fish will be allowed into the April contest. So the gauntlet has been thrown down for everyone else.

Thanks for the input, I want this to be something everyone can enjoy, and everyone can deem as fair for all participants. Chris.
