egi zed,
I like your approach to a competition. Sounds like fun. I like the idea of a size contest versus a quantity one. What kind of prizes do you award? What area are you from?

Size is a good measure because you can't get people teaming up. You just have to make sure that the squid is dead and drained when you weigh it <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> The only problem with size on this site is that we have people fishing all over the world so whoever is in the Spring at competition will have a distinct advantage. Same can be said for Autumn if you go by numbers though.
Prizes are anything from egis and handmade yaen gaffs to bottles of sake or other local specialities.
I live in Nagoya so it was a 300k 6 hour drive down to Wakayama. Nothing compared to the 3 guys who drove down from Yamagata, 1100k and over 12 hours behind the wheel. Water temps are still a little low around the local squidding points so I have to wait a little longer for the local season to open. And then mayhem...
