#4174, "And the Winner is!"


  

          

The actual combined weight of the 6 fish pictured in the weight guess contest was 62.35lbs. So, with a guess of 60.8lbs, the winner of the Okuma V-200 low profile reel is dogfish2! Len, please send me an email with your shipping addres via the contact form on the website here or send me a private message via the forum and I will have the reel, shirt, hat, and stickers sent from Okuma asap.

I have to note that Mr. John Lake had the closest guess at 62.00lbs but he's on the Okuma pro-staff and is a calfishing moderator so his guess was just for fun. Good guess though bud :)

Thanks to everyone who participated. Here's the individual fish weights in case you were wondering. Yes that's a 17 in the last pic :o

Fish 1 - 8.35lbs

Congrats!! Enjoy MY reel!x( Oh Well, next time!! (a calfishing.com tee shirt for 2nd runner up???) I was noticing that most of the weights were very LOW by comparison the the actual weight. I knew Rob would'nt have put a bunch of squeelers up there, so I fugured they'd each be at least around 9 or 10 lbs each,so 60 lbs +/- about 2 pounds was my initial guess. The "without going over" part made it ALOT tougher!! THANKS!! to Rob and OKUMA for the FUN!!! Lets do this more often, even if it's just for a spool of line or something.....maybe a BBZ-1?????? :P Just by being on calfishing.com you're ALL WINNERS!!!!!!!! Get The Net! -- Alex

Congrats Len, nice job!

Boy was I way off, and I thought the first and second fish were the same, just taken from different angles :+


Almost forgot, thanks Rob and Okuma for the contest and prize!!

Nice job on the guess, with really nothing to go by except the measuring tape on a couple of the fish. The angles were very deceiving thanks for the great contest!!!

My inital guesses were:

1. 4.17
2. 7.21
3. 9.12
4. 3.21
5. 9.10
6. 10.20

Show me the water, I will fish.

That's the last time I average the field then look for the biggest available hole in the direction my gut and statistical analysis tells me. My gut said +55# but statistics said 48.something. The biggest hole in the middle of the pack at the time was 49.1 to 50.69 so that's where I shot for.
I guess all you low guessers failed me! x( :+ Don't We know that Rob wouldn't put up a bunch of "also rans" when he's looking for a winner!

Tight lines,
Wade
