Release form News from Jim Bunch of the Lunge Log !!!!!!
Please inform your members!

30 Day Reporting Period!

In some cases members hold their entries
until late in the year and then enter them
all at once. I try to keep an eye on this
so somebody does not get bumped out of a
Lunker of the Month award 6 or 7 months
after the fact. Also we have had a few
occasions where a member gets bumped out of
a division leader list or one of the 10
International awards by someone who entered
them way too late. Some years entries range
from 14,000 to 16,000 and it just gets to
be a night mare trying to keep track of who
is late. So, I have a game plan to solve
this.

Effective July 1, 2009! 30 Days or Else!

The on line fish submission is being set up
to reject any entry that is over the 30 day
reporting period. This will go into effect
on July 1, 2009.The system would allow the
chapter contest chairperson to enter them
up to 60 days from date of catch. The
reason for this is that by human nature
members will panic and put them in the
hands of the chapter contest chairperson
right at the end of the 30 day reporting
period. Consequently, in some of our larger
chapters, the contest chairman may get 150
to 200 entries and only two days to enter
them. So, individual members still must
have them to their contest chairman within
30 days (or enter them their selves within
30) or the chapter contest chairman may
have up to 60 days to enter them. You will
then put your contest chairman at your
mercy. If this gets to be a pattern and he
does not like it, then please understand
his response to you.

This is not a Rule Change! Just Enforcement!

This notice will appear in the June 2009
Muskie Magazine. That is the one you are
reading. This notice will be sent to your
Chapter President, your Chapter Regional
Vice President, and your Chapter Contest
Chairperson by email during the month of
May in 2009. Consequently you will be
informed! Please do not come at us with the
idea that you did not know. That will not
work. If this seems kind of tough, please
understand that this rule has been in
effect for many years (Rule No. 4). I have
many watch dogs keeping track of this and I
quite frankly am tired of having to deal
with this. I think this is a fine solution
to the problem that really doesn’t affect
many of you. There I have spoken my piece,
thank you very much.

Please inform your members!


Keep a tight line,

This will help Fred update the fish list much more efficiently and bring us up to date lists more quickly, so that you all know where you stand in the release contest. When you catch a lot of fish on your trip, the easiest thing to do is enter your releases online with Muskies Inc. then print the form with all of your info and reference number and immediately send it to Fred.
