The yearly contributor contest is back and better than ever! This year we’re going to give away even more prizes, and the contributor of the year will receive a custom one-of-a-kind Sportsmans Trophy Plaque designed by Fishing Fury.

We’re still collecting gear for the full prize list, but I can tell you that there are already over a dozen great prizes in the pot from great companies like Water Gremlin, Insect Sheild, Big Smallie Jigs, Zazzy Pop, Survival Straps, LunkerHunt, Fishing Butler, Militant Outdoors, Frog Hair, and more!

Contest Rules

These are the rules for the 2012 contributor contest, please read them carefully. You must comply with all the rules to be eligible for the grand prize, the high quality images are required to create (print) the best Sportsman Trophy Plaque possible.

  1. All fish must be legally caught in 2012 under the stated rules of your local department of natural resources. No out of season fish will be accepted for this contest. In some cases we may ask you to give us help finding this information to confirm your catch.

  2. At least two high-resolution (4 megapixel or greater) digital photos. We want the ones straight off your digital camera, no photoshopping or colour correcting allowed. Just the raw photos please. This is a requirement of the grand prize, though you could still potentially win secondary prizes with a low resolution photo, the higher resolution the better.

Chasing Team 46 … Check it.

Canada’s premium professional angling tour, Renegade Bass, and its army of skilled Anglers roll into Cornwall Ontario this week chasing Scott Lefebvre and Rob Yantha, now the 2012 team of the year points race leaders.

This event stop on the St Lawrence River officially marks the halfway point of the tour season. And fortunately for this Canadian Professional Angling Team, they are red hot and poised to pull away from the field if they can figure out how to load the boat with GIANT Lake St. Francis small mouth bass.

After a predictable cheque cashing finish on the sewage saturated Ottawa River a few weeks ago, team 46 is riding the momentum and confidence needed to tighten their choke hold on the rest of the Renegade field of competitors.

Militant Outdoors is an online resource and promotional avenue for anglers both professional and recreational, as well a fantastic community of outdoorsmen that share the same outstanding passion for the outdoors as we do. We will be teaming up with Militant Outdoors to expand our reach to anglers and the industry overall by sharing content and resources to bring our readers more reports, product reviews, tournament and event coverage, and much more.

The first Militant Outdoors contribution will be published shortly and I think with all the recent legal problems surrounding fishing in Toronto recently (an update on that coming too) it will be a very on topic read for our readers. Stay tuned, and I hope you enjoy everything that is yet to come!
