THE OMD FOM/FOY COMPETITION MARCH 2012


This year the OMD FOM trophy will be a beautifully shaped wooden ray [as shown below], with the name of the winner engraved. These are hand-made by our very own spearo MIRROR [send him some rep!], with the kind help of venturesports/spearfishingstore.co.uk.

This years Fish of the MONTH competitions are generously sponsored by Apnea Jersey Spearfishing shop [prizes tbc].

And this years Fish of the YEAR competition is sponsored by venturesports/spearfishingstore.co.uk with a prize of a site voucher/credit for a fantastic £175.

Furthermore, for those who are really keen, we will run a fun speccie hunt competition [no prizes for this one]; just enter the fom as usual, and your fish will be entered into the speccie hunt comp at the end of the year, more details below...


In this thread, please only post your entries for the FOM competition.

Re: Fish of the Moth / Fish of the Year 2012 Competition entries

OK, here's a a March bass to get you started.

I'm entering it as 3lb 3oz, although I think it was probably closer to 3.5lb when it contained it's guts, gills, scales, roe, (lead!) etc.

It ain't gonna win, after Baldyfish's superb entry (good effort mate), but I'll put it in anyway, just to bulk the competition out a bit at this early stage of the season - March bass weighing 3.47kg (which is just over 7.6lb, apparently). :)
