    I need to laminate the control item and carry it around with me. First couple of trips of forgetting it or finding it destroyed and mashed up in the tackle box and I give up. Not that I have a chance of winning, but it would be fun(ny) to compare myself to all the other Minnesota cat guys.

    I have been involved with this contest a few years and DTro does a great job running it and it is fun even if you do not fish alot for cats.

    Lets have a bunch here at IDo sign up and at the end of the season, we can see who has the highest score for the IDo ers.

    Darren, is there a sign up sheet or does one just say yes here?

    Yes, put me down.

    All the rules and regs are on the site I provided in the original post. There is a submission form you need to fill out with each fish. There is no registration or anything like that.

    I revamped the whole site to make it easier to broadcast updates to everyone rather than going to website a,b,c,and d.

    Please refer to the site for all leaderboard updates and questions and you guys can use this thread for IDO chat about the contest.

    Oh and I’ll be adding prizes as they come in. My latest update details the FishNote Smartphone apps that will be given away.

    Just wanted to mention that I’m starting to line up some nice prizes for us.

    Maybe not as plentiful as last year, but at least we’ll have a few things to dish out. Check out the KOTC site for all the latest updates and details.

    I see in the rules you can use the control item displayed on your phone for an entry.

    It always has been and always will be about embracing technology. I can’t remember who was the first to do it last year (maybe Ryan or Jakob), but I thought it was a brilliant idea to use an image on their phone as the control item.

    It kind of takes away my excuse for not having a control item. I look forward to securing last place.
