2011 WCW Jackpot - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

WCW Moderator · 01-24-2011, 02:43 PM

WCW Hiatus, so how about a little ongoing jackpot. The first 3 people to catch and document accordingly, a 20lb + halibut, 30lb + yellowtail or 40lb + white seabass, will win 50/30/20 payout. You must be entered prior to catching your fish.

Buy in is $20, only 1 fish per person will count, as in you can not win 1st, 2nd and 3rd, your biggest counts. Current jackpot ends with 3 persons posting. Payout wins by highest total points according to WCW standard. The fish weights above are all worth 40 points with an additional point for each pound over, no points added for artificials. Third person to post, not catch, will complete the jackpot and we will start it over again with another buy in.

WCW rules apply. Photo of you and fish and a tape shot. You must use a reliable scale, post your weight, but no scale shot is required. You have to stand the scrutiny of your tape shot.

Use Paypal link below to enter, list of who is competing will be updated periodically. Post your catch in the Reports section.

Any Questions?

Has anyone entered this yet?

WCW Moderator · 01-27-2011, 12:11 PM

I would expect people to wait to enter just prior to going fishing, so we should see people jump aboard this weekend. I would not want to throw my $20 in and get beat before I even wet a line.......It could take some time for 3 subs the way fishing has been.

WCW Moderator · 01-30-2011, 09:17 AM

BUMP! .........$100 bucks up for grabs............so far

Iceman · 02-09-2011, 12:17 PM

Bump!

OK some further clarification this is a jackpot, you are not going for the SLAM you are trying to catch the biggest fish..........actually the highest points fish.

Example:
Moe catches a 45 pound YT worth 55 points 2nd
Shemp catches a 45 pound WSB worth 45 points 3rd
Curly catches a 45 pound halibut worth 65 points 1st

After there are 3 people to submit, winners get the pot and we will start a new entry via Paypal

Hope this is sufficient clarification.............now STEP UP and git sum!

THE DARKHORSE · 02-13-2011, 11:49 AM

I'm sure everyone has the same idea: wait for the roster to build up and pounce! Maybe that's just me?

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised more guys haven't entered this. It's not like you have to put together a years worth of fish. One fish and you're in the money; how easy is that? And for the guys who target Halibut, I would think, season wise anyway---right now you have a huge advantage. It's February for Pete's Sake!

Simply put, if you plan to go fishing in the near future it doesn't really make sense not to enter. Every dog has his day!

And to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, I'll donate some cash to the guys with a huge advantage (Halibut fisherman).

Lets play!

GregAndrew · 02-14-2011, 08:31 PM

So correct me if I am wrong. Once a fish that qualifies is caught, that category is closed, and that participant is stuck with the points earned by that fish, until one of each of the other 2 species is caught? There is no upgrade unless you choose not to enter a qualifying fish in hopes of improvement? And soon as one of each is caught you start all over again?

Iceman · 02-14-2011, 08:46 PM

further clarification, the example I gave showed the point structure, but all 3 entries can be the same species....basically you enter, then you catch 1 of the 3 (any of the 3) species listed that weigh more than the minimum weight. After you have submitted, a second person subs, then a 3rd. Jackpot closes, winners get their piece of the pot and we go again with another $20 buy in.

You can also hold your cards close to your chest and throw down at the last minute to be the 3rd, but you may miss out and 4th sub don't get in. So you don't have to play your catch in any specific time and can try for an upgrade. I like when a little strategy enters the equation.....but it has been so long since I caught anything that would be acceptable, I'd be happy to sub anything!

Iceman · 02-15-2011, 02:27 PM

BUMP...com'on look who just entered

Iceman · 02-27-2011, 08:31 PM

Bump....who's next?!?!......it may take a while to find 3 anglers with eligible fish! BTW....WCW '11 is one month a way!

jorluivil · 02-27-2011, 09:07 PM

I just joined.

I'm planning on dragging a line with a sinker, a hook and some bait attached to it.....lets see what happens.

Iceman · 03-11-2011, 09:08 AM

Bump! 2 submits, 1st 2nd or 3rd place fish is still out there!

wade · 04-01-2011, 07:50 PM

Whoops! Not sure how I did that, I guess I thought it was a $50 buy in......

How come nobody else caught this. How does a $240 pot pay out $600

Hope you guys have not gone on a spending spree

The payouts should be 1st $120, 2nd $80 and 3rd $40

deepdvr · 04-07-2011, 08:56 AM

I just thought you guys were being super generous.

Thanks!
