This challenge will be open now through the end of Labor Day Weekend. The challenge will be to see who can cleanup the most impressive amount of trash from their favorite fishing spots, whether it be at the canal, on the beach, or somewhere else. Please take photos of the trash in the rocks, dunes etc. and also please take a photo of you with your bags of trash (similar to the photo above). You may submit multiple trash entries. Whoever picks up the most impressive amount of trash now through Labor Day Weekend will be our winner. I also hope to share your photos on My Fishing Cape Cod to help inspire other people to do the same. ????
For this challenge, I am interested in seeing if anyone can catch an absolutely monster scup of 20 inches or more. Please make sure you get a photo of the scup next to a tape measure. Additional high quality photos of the angler holding the scup are encouraged when you submit your catch. The winner will also have an optional opportunity to write a 500 word report about the experience which will be featured on My Fishing Cape Cod.

Tight lines!
Hey Ryan, crazy idea for a challenge: biggest fish caught on a hand-line! After watching your videos from Mexico and Costa Rica I’ve been tossing around the idea of trying to hand-line a bass in the canal (which I’m not entirely sure is a good idea). But handlining a bass anywhere on the cape (maybe the flats at night?) would be quite an accomplishment.
There might be some potential in that idea Chris!
A few years ago I actually tried hand-lining for stripers here on Cape Cod from a boat. It didn’t go so well due to my poor technique, but I think with some practice it would definitely be possible.
