2 piece rod!!!!
Click here for TH RODS!

OR
Lamiglas XCF 803
8’ one piece Kwikfish Rod, complete with Kwikfish!

This year we will be using The Oregonian newspaper as date verification along with an ifish logo of some sort!

Here is an entry from last year that shows how it's done!

You can order a decal if you like, here, so that you have one handy.
Or, you can borrow one from a friend, or find a boat with one on it!

Again, we will be asking for proof of date by taking a picture of the fish with a copy of page one of that day's Oregonian, therefore proving to us the date the fish was caught.

Rules:

1. You must be wearing or have in the picture some kind of ifish or salty dog bling or logo, including but not limited to;

...hats, sweatshirts, t shirts, decal etc. You can even print off an ifish discussion board logo, or front page, and use that. Just SOMETHING that shows you are fishing in the Ifish contest!

If you don't have one, or can't afford one, no worries! Quickly borrow one from a friend! Never be without ifish bling! Fish with ifish friends who have some!

It's neat to have a decal on your truck, because people will recognize you!

You may also order stuff, here, just to keep in your boat so that you are ready! Remember to support our new friends at Scappoose Outfitters. They are so awesome to ifish and make beautiful logo items! Visit us at the Sportsmen's Show and pick something up! Our decals and their products will be available there with us in booth 1252!

2. You must post a full length picture of the fish, showing the entire fish so that we can easily tell that it is a springer. In the background, or along with it must be the front page of that day's newspaper, with the date that it is caught, and posted that day, or within ONE day of the paper's date. (In case you cannot get to ifish that day!)

It must be The Oregonian, or one of the major Washington papers front pages, so that we can easily determine and prove what date it was caught.

3. BONUS PRIZE! If anyone in the Winning Springer picture is wearing a life jacket, or in an additional picture that was clearly taken on the same day you caught your first springer, you will win a bonus prize! This will be decided and determined by Jennie and the mod crew. Also, if you are fishing with kids who have life jackets on in the picture (My Favorite!) they get a prize, too! (If you win!)

4) Jack Salmon do not count. It must be a fin clipped, adult fish over 24 inches!

5) This contest is for ifish members ONLY. You must be an active ifish member. You must have registered on the www.ifish.net board before January 31st, 2010, and have at least 20 contributing posts to enter the contest. No "Yup, that's a pretty fish" posts. Contributing, means that you contribute information to the ifish board. This will give you incentive to join us right now in order to play! Come on in!

6) The fish must be tagged on your harvest card, and you must provide a copy of your license with this fish tagged, when you pick up your prize.

7) "First spring Chinook" will be awarded when it is verified by ifish and it's mod crew.

8) All entries MUST be posted on this thread, which will be pinned to the top of ifish until someone wins the first (and second?) prize.

Disclaimer and "uh oh! There is a problem!" --If there are any problems concerning proof of fish, or questions about rules, Jennie has the right to take all entries by her chosen date, and pick a random winner by means of a drawing.
I have the right to correct any misinformation and edit this thread as I see fit to make the rules fair and easy to play for everyone. Remember... This is supposed to be fun!

Please help us support Ifish!
Ifish decals available here!

Good idea Jennie!

May I add some help here to avoid a possible problem? It is feasible that the "first fish" would be caught on the same day. Is there any way to get a time caught indication in this factor?
Smart as you are I'm leaving that to you!

Time cannot be verified without trust and no one can trust a fisherman who posts on the internet without 3rd party verification.

Jennie@ifish · 01-14-2010, 10:24 AM

It's the first one to be posted.
And... if I don't believe it, I simply don't award them the prize.

It's about fun, you guys.
Besides that, it has to be on your tag.

dlgobeavs · 01-26-2010, 02:27 PM

I hate to be the one to point out this flaw... but the only thing that the newspaper confirms is that it wasn't caught AFTER that day.

thedesertdrifter · 01-26-2010, 05:29 PM

I think that is all we are trying to prove. can any one tell me what date the first one was last year?

jboats555 · 01-26-2010, 07:06 PM

FEB 5 2009

Slayer · 01-27-2010, 06:48 AM

I didn't say that very well...

What I meant was... there is nothing (other than their hopeful honesty) to keep someone from holding up the paper from the day prior.

Thanks Jennie for putting this contest together!

tsorrels · 01-27-2010, 03:33 PM

umpqua fish count ?? where do i get a I fish or salty dogs sticker ??

thedesertdrifter · 01-27-2010, 04:24 PM

Blue Water 23 · 02-01-2010, 01:23 PM

Here is the first for the year. This springer was caught on 2/1/10 with a green label cut-plug herring trolled downriver on the CR. I was fishing with Larry Kesch Jr. of Hook'Em Up Guide Service. It is a 16 pound hatchery fish.

Shanel · 02-01-2010, 01:25 PM

Nice fish! What happened Dave? Are you getting slow in your old age?

ColdSteel · 02-01-2010, 03:05 PM

Way to go Jesse, nice fish.

Got a txt from Matt saying you caught one this morning.

Looks like someone is have a good dinner tonight.

west98671 · 02-01-2010, 03:52 PM

Awesome to see that it came out of the CR!!!

Jennie@ifish · 02-02-2010, 06:21 AM

LOL... You sure have all the correct loot!
But-- hey... sorry. Your picture makes my screen scroll.
I'll have to think about this...

Did you win?

Hmm...

YES!

Congrats!

You make me do the springer dance!
I think I'll go out and buy flowers for myself, today!
CONGRATS!
Way to go Larry's Hook Em Up, too!

Jennie@ifish · 02-02-2010, 06:46 AM

I uploaded it to ifish for ya, and reduced the size a bit. You get to choose which rod you'd like, and I'll bring it to the Sportsmen's Show for you, if you will be there!
Let me know!

You also win the bonus prize, for having a life jacket on!
Let me see what I have in Grandmas' closet! How bout an Okuma Reel?!?!

Jen

Blue Water 23 · 02-02-2010, 08:50 AM

I can't wait to fish with a TH Rod and the Okuma Reel! I really appreciate ifish, TH Rods, Lamiglas, Okuma, and all of the other great sponsors!

I will be at the Sportsman Show, just not sure what day yet.

Let me know if there is anything else that I need to do or if you need anything from me. Thanks again, this site and the sponsors are great, generous people.

Jesse

Hay Dave his is bigger

Jennie@ifish · 02-05-2010, 05:06 AM

Please remember that we have TWO contests, so the "second" springer is still open! I'm not sure if Blue Water wants the TH rod or the Lami rod.
I have sent him a PM to ask!

smalldog · 02-08-2010, 07:21 AM

This gives me reason to get out there.... congrats.

bonjoevi2000 · 02-08-2010, 03:47 PM

Ok Jennie and Ifish members Im gonna take some Ifishers advice and post this pic. to try and win the 2nd place. Ifish member "catchnrelease" said he saw me land that Springer so, well I dont know Im trying. Caught Superbowl Sunday Feb. 7,2010 at 10:00am at the mouth of the Clackamas river, Spin-Glo, 25lbs. I have it tagged on my harvest tag. What do you think ? Thanks Joe B.

Chinook311 · 02-08-2010, 04:00 PM

We caught and released a nice 15 lb nate on Friday the 5th. No time for pics or papers. 3 ifishers on the boat.

Chinook311 · 02-08-2010, 04:15 PM

I would like to add that even if the camera was ready and I had a newspaper we would have passed on the pic. This was an early, very beautiful fish that came out of the water many times and then twisted in the net. The kwikfish unhooked itself and we were able to lower the net and the fish swam away before the sea lions even got close. We should not waste any time releasing natives when we dont have to.

Yeah but it wouldn't have qualified anyway according to rule #4.

4) Jack Salmon do not count. It must be a fin clipped, adult fish over 24 inches!

I personally vote to give the 2nd place award to Bonjoevi2000. He may not have the newspaper in there but he's the 2nd clipped springer posted in this thread.

Chinook311 · 02-08-2010, 04:24 PM

Also rule 6 says it must be tagged. Never imagined we would get one on our first trip out and I wasnt clear on the rules. No nates.

Chinook311 · 02-08-2010, 04:25 PM

But it was still a springer. On Feb 5th.

Still awesome that you got a Springer so early, nate or not. Congratulations BTW.

JustCallMeDave · 02-09-2010, 06:34 AM

Sorry bonjoevi2000, but your entry does not meet the first two rules of the contest. Congrats on the catch, though!

Jennie@ifish · 02-09-2010, 06:50 AM

What a beautiful fish! If only you could have had a folded up printed out ifish page or SOMETHING! You guys-- don't let this happen to you! What a beautiful fish! Did I say that?
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FISH!!!

Ya gotta have the stuff, though, to qualify! Dang!

AnnaDraMoss · 02-09-2010, 06:23 PM

I caught this one this Morning about an hour before I had to be at work (10:00AM)
Yes I am wearing a life jacket inside my front door!

Please excuse the tacky presentation of this picture, as I only had time to take it "after" I got home from work.
Not to mention I was fishing alone this morning and no one was around the house after I got off the river.
The Salmon weighed 15lb and took a plug cut red label bounced in sixteen ft of water.

ampersat · 02-09-2010, 07:03 PM

Afraid of drowning in the house, are ya??

Congrats!!

AnnaDraMoss · 02-09-2010, 07:14 PM

Some fishermen will not wear rain gear while fishing, bad Karma?
Do they have a group for people like me?
Help!

Jennie@ifish · 02-09-2010, 08:27 PM

Now there is a winner that makes me smile out loud!!!

Congrats!!!

Wish now I'd brought that rod to town with me!!! Dang!!

If you happen to be going to Tillamook, it's at home! Or Bill can bring it on Sunday???

Sup to you! Or I could ship it to you!!

Congrats!

Till next year!!!

Pm me and let's figure out delivery!

Jennie@ifish · 02-09-2010, 08:30 PM

May I have a bite?

AnnaDraMoss · 02-09-2010, 09:16 PM

PM sent

Lik2f&h · 02-10-2010, 07:36 AM

Great job on the early hog. Now let the games begin. Can't wait to get out and get mine, right after the sportsman's show.

bonjoevi2000 · 02-10-2010, 07:00 PM

Good Job!

Pursuit · 02-10-2010, 08:35 PM

Good job Gary

You are the man, hope tyou get a lot more this Spring. Those herring aren't so bad.

Pop'n Fish · 02-14-2010, 04:00 PM

Nope! I'll keep the Springer. Thought I'd won something for sure. Congratulations on the new rod. See u on the water. pops

Jennie@ifish · 02-15-2010, 06:47 AM

That's so awesome, Pops! I said when I heard how much I would have loved to give a rod to you for that!
Not that the others aren't very deserving, but you so put in the time and well, I just have a soft spot, hearing about your fish!

Congrats!
Next year!!!
Next year!

You get to choose which rod you'd like, and I'll bring it to the Sportsmen's Show for you, if you will be there! Let me know! You also win the bonus prize, for having a life jacket on! Let me see what I have in Grandmas' closet! How bout an Okuma Reel?!?!

I really appreciate ifish, TH Rods, Lamiglas, Okuma, and all of the other great sponsors! I will be at the Sportsman Show, just not sure what day yet. Let me know if there is anything else that I need to do or if you need anything from me. Thanks again, this site and the sponsors are great, generous people.

Please remember that we have TWO contests, so the "second" springer is still open! I'm not sure if Blue Water wants the TH rod or the Lami rod. I have sent him a PM to ask! __________________ The goal in Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy moly what a ride!"

I would like to add that even if the camera was ready and I had a newspaper we would have passed on the pic. This was an early, very beautiful fish that came out of the water many times and then twisted in the net. The kwikfish unhooked itself and we were able to lower the net and the fish swam away before the sea lions even got close. We should not waste any time releasing natives when we dont have to.
