Rago Baits has decided to help keep the giveaway train rolling by donating a brand new 8" Baby Tool for this contest :) This handcrafted bait retails for $100 and can be seen online at:
http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageSWMJRAGO-JRBT.html?from=calfish

I'm not sure what color we'll be getting but I'll update as soon as I find out. Trust me, you want to win this bait!

So here's the rules, very similar to prior contests.

* The closest guess to the actual weight of the fish below without going over wins the bait.

* Weight guesses must be in pounds and hundredths, for example 25.45lbs or 25.60lbs

* Weight guesses that are not in the above format will not count. Do not guess things like 25 pounds 6 oz.

* Edited posts will not count. Do not edit your post

* In the event of a duplicate guess, the first guess will count, the second guess will not. Check the other guesses before you guess please.

* Guessing will end at 5pm Pacific Standard Time on Monday October 16, 2006. Guesses after this time will not count.

* To claim your rod, you must use the contact form on calfishing.com to contact me and send me your address.

Here's the fish, let's see some guesses

Why do I feel like Bob Barker here, hmmm :)

Well gang the actual weight of the fish pictured was 11.25lbs. We had two guesses at 11.10lbs, one from l_boden and one from BIGUN. Unfortunately BIGUN your guess was the second guess of 11.10 and doesn't count per the rules:

* In the event of a duplicate guess, the first guess will count, the second guess will not. Check the other guesses before you guess please.

So, Mr. Boden, please send me a message via the contact form here:
http://www.calfishing.com/contact/index.html
and I will get the ball rolling to get your Rago Baits baby tool on its way! Thanks everyone for playing :)

Man, I am having the worst day ever. I totally missed the other guess of 11.10- I never would have done that. I had the guess of the largemouth NAILED, too, but decided to guess a higher weight because all you people who actually get to see these big fish were guessing higher so I bumped mine up, too. I am so bummed, I really wanted that tool and refuse to buy a bbz knock-off. Thank you for at least making the chance possible and congratulations to the winner- I hope you stick a monster with it. Dave

Man.......to slow again... No guess for me LOL
Congrats to the winner;-)
