Just another thought, maybe it should be this way as there is no guarantee that a ten inch plus will be caught in any given year

Or is this going to be strickly for the ever elusive ten plus inch mumbo??

[tattoo]

But we really don't know if it will be annual ?

Mumbo Bowl

Fair enough, that has not been clearly established, has it?

So, is the consensus that this is a per mumbo (as far as largest until topped by a larger one) or per year competition??

[tattoo]

Yea , But it has to be at least 10 inches or better to qualify.

[Solow]

Keep it until topped

[tattoo]

Keep it until topped

Thats the plan , But someone has to come up with the firat 10 incher.

How about, with ILLSWIMHOME's contribution;

                                                                            CURRENT
                                                                       TEN INCH PLUS
                                                                          BLUE CRAB

                                                                      MUMBO MASTER

I believe we are going to state in the rules the crab has to be a fresh catch in the 09 season.  Stored crabs will not count.

[BowMovements]

As far as the name goes, perhaps we should ask OSB his opinion since he forged the idea.  He might have an idea of what he wants to call it.  Not to say the contributions weren't appreciated but, its only fair.

[tattoo]

He has already B-Mailed me some ideas . Him and i will talk about it before a finnad disicion is made. 

[polarized]

The Deccamumbo award , or the MegaJimmy award or JimmyX award ??   

[lreops]

I believe we are going to state in the rules the crab has to be a fresh catch in the 09 season.  Stored crabs will not count.

That is already understood per the rules that have already been established. "Current" would mean current as of the 2009 season and forward to coming years. If I interpreted the meaning of your response wrong, sorry.

[BILOXI BAY]

 I'm in the boat with the Madcrabber on this one, but spell out the BCA. Big Blue Award is kind of "catchy".

MY BIG 10"
BLUE CRAB AWARD

BIG A$$ BRONZED BLUE CRAB MOUNTED HERE

Little replace-able bronze tag here with

JOHN DOE
10 1/?"
2009

"MY" could be replaced with BCA should the bossman want to sanction and make the contest official.
Perhaps a ruler painted underneath the crab would be kind of cool.

Or is this going to be strickly for the ever elusive ten plus inch mumbo??

As far as it being an annual event, it will probably depend on just how it goes this year. Will it turn out generally favorable with a minimum of pissing and moaning? Or will pissing and moaning define it?
If its the former, it could very well become an annual event and I see no good reason it shouldn't.
If it is the latter then no one will care enough to do anything with it.

As far as it being a "strictly 10"" event, that is my inclination, however I am flexible.
But I think considering anything less than 9.5 will produce more entries than we want to deal with.
And I would still want to stick with the "BIG 10""motiff as that is the goal.

Maybe we should have a fund driven to keep this place running so that next year there will be another award....
