Well then, things just got interesting! Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a competition!!
Congrats on the Bear Lake trip! I've been reading the reports on the Utah forum and it sounds like fun down there.
I think you're laker's lower jaw is JUST BARELY at the 25 inch mark so that's the score for that one.
The cisco is 8 inches BUT (this one had me scratching my head for a bit) since cisco are a type whitefish (i.e., members of the genus Prosopium) it would count at a game fish. Including your lake trout you've already reached 5 game fish species so the cisco won't be counted in the score. Here's the rule as it's written in the other thread:
[ul][li]Up to 5 different game fish (see page 55 of the 2011-2012 Fishing Seasons and Rules book published by IDFG; except that panfish, will be scored separately). All cutthroat trout and cutthroat x rainbow hybrids will count as one species. All variations of rainbow trout (e.g. banana trout etc.) will be counted as one species. [#FF0000][size 3]All species of whitefish will be counted as one species[/size][/#FF0000]. [/li][/ul]
As it sits now it's neck and neck between you and Mr. Hook N. Hunter. You are now in second place, but only by 0.5 inches. It looks to me like you're just a field goal away from taking the lead and you've still got a panfish to go... Be careful though or you'll provoke hooknhunter to pull out a tiger on one of his trips to Cascade! [
