Event Specific Rules

*Unique identifiers will be required in all picture submissions.

​Once the identifier is posted print it off and then put it into a ziploc bag or another clear bag (must be easily seen in pictures).

*Identifiers can easily get wet, blow away, or go missing so be sure to take extra precaution.  Nothing is worse than getting an awesome catch DQ'd because the identifier wasn't in the picture.

Event History

The Labor Day tournament in 2013 had a massive cold and rain front push through the entire state of Ohio.  Anglers that were able to fish on the Friday before the storm pushed through were able to log some catches that would be tough to find later in the weekend.  The top 9 anglers for the Buckeye Open all exceeded a three fish total of 50".  In the end Brian Britton captured first place with an impressive 3 fish total of 58.75"!  Brian is hoisting his big bass of the weekend in the picture shown below...
