I believe Mark you can if it is for a grand slam...ie a 4 pound smallie or a 5 pound largie.
I do not think both count for big stringer.

NO!!!  FISH CAUGHT DURING TOURNEY'S ARE VERBOTEN.  ONLY FISH CAUGHT AT FISH-INS ARE ELIGIBLE!!!

Just kidding Rob.  Nice fish OH GREAT ONE.  Yes you can turn that PIG in for greenslips.

Redchamp,  some people turn in 2 slips for the month if they haven't already caught a smallmouth over 4 lbs. or a largemouth over 5 lbs. so that if they don't catch one later then they still get credit at the end of the year for their SM and LM certificates. 

As you know members get 1 (ONE) certificate for their biggest LM over 5 lbs. and 1 (one) certificate for their biggest LM over 5 lbs. turned in during the year on greenslips.  So what happens is a member (such as Brian)( the name was included to point to the guilty) goes out during the month and catches a 6 lb. LM and also catches a 5 lb. SM.  He hasn't turned in a greenslip for a SM over 4 lbs. yet this year.  So he turns in the 6lb. LM for this month and includes the 5 lb. SM. on a greenslip.

I will accept both and announce them.  But only the LM is included in his greenslips total for the year.  But if he doesn't happen to catch another 4+lb. SM (Brian? yeah right) during the year he still gets his certificate at the end of the year. ( I think he is papering his bedroom with them) .

I hope this answers the questions.

On second thought since I am the greenslips chair(don't go there Larry)person I guess I get to make up the rules.  I will have to take under advisement the question regarding the HUGE fish caught during a "sanctioned" tourney being turned in for a greenslip.  (Rob, money talks, Bullshot walks)

O.K. Rob,  iffin' you are gonna whine about it I am going to let you count that "cute" fish.  But only so that you will know the crashing feeling when someone catches a BIGGER fish then yours.  OH THE P-A--I-N!!!

Rich

OH THE P-A-I-N

The basket is zeroed out. Plus Rich only certifies them up to 6 pounds.

What's kinda getting me is why are we even having this conversation? I simply wanted to make sure that any fish caught at anytime in the state was eligible. I know people turned in fish from the Silver Lake Open. Was that fish weighed on there personal scale? I doubt it. If this was a 3 bler, nobody would even question it. Like I told Rich, the "T" scale is probably more accurate than any other $20 scale we use. We all know the basket and the board that calms the fish is zeroed out before fish are weighed. The fish was weighed at 8-8, marked as 8-8, will be remembered as 8-8 and I will turn it in as 8-8. If someone has a problem then they can go you no where.

DON'T FIGHT GIRLS...YOU MIGHT RIP YOUR NYLONS

This is the definitive answer:  If the scales are good enough to be used in a sanctioned tournament then they are good enough for the club's greenslips. (although I still think they might be about 5 oz. heavy so I still have the biggest fish.HAHA

Come on guys,  even though we "certify" scales we are still on the honor system to "ACCURATELY" report the weight of fish caught during the month.  How about those scales that use springs and graduated marks on the side?  How accurate are they really?  You still have to approximate between 2 or 3 ozs.

Guys, we are the Western Bass Club not B.A.S.S. or FLW.  The prize is not 6 figures and will make the house payment.  And it is not like the top weights were mear tenths of an ounce apart.  CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?  LOL

Darn, now I guess we will have to go thruogh this on Loudmouth Bass on Sat. morning.

Anyway, Damm nice fish Rob.  Now take 2 of these and call me in the morning.
