Smallest Catch— August 2026 Photo Contest

[Christian Sommer]

My fish was this big... Err, maybe a bit smaller....

Bring out your best photo for this month’s forum-wide photo contest! Our theme this month is “Smallest Catch.” We know you've fought a 300LB marlin for 8 hours and dragged it in with your bare hands, but this time, we want to see when you lassoed in a sardine. When was the last time you went fishing and hauled in a 3 ouncer? Submit a photo of your smallest catch for this month's photo contest!

To enter the contest, reply to this post with your photo, boat model, and a description about what's going on to accompany it. One photo/entry per user. The Photo Contest will be open until 8:00 AM PST on 8/31/2026. After all the submissions have been collected, factory personnel will vote on the winner.

One winner for each brand will be selected (Ranger Tugs, Cutwater, or Solara) and will win a $100 gift card to Boxer-Bay.com, the official Fluid Motion merch store, and get their winning photo proudly displayed on he Tugnuts homepage and Fluid Motion social media accounts!

Please Note:
This thread is for contest submissions only; replies which do not submit a picture for the contest will be moderated and promptly deleted. Once voting has started, you are not allowed to edit your entry.

Every once in a while the crew will let the skipper real in a fish, usually when they are tired of dealing with shackers ! Yes it was legal but not by much, and only because it was a silver (16 in). Actually I was impressed that the crew was able to net it.

Every year, the answer for my daughters as to what should we do on Father's Day is same...let's catch a bunch of fish and prepare dinner for everyone (and great white wine of course). We usually come back with limits, but, this year after fishing all day got the booby prize...oh well, the wine was fantastic, with frozen fish. 😛
