Been sneaking out several days trying to find a cat for the contest, and no matter where I try or what I do all I can find is 23" cats... I've never had a year that has been so hard to catch fish over 23" as this one... I know the cool temps will be shutting things down pretty soon, but I sure hate to admit this bad of defeat this year... Can't believe I couldn't break 80 points, in fact, I haven't even gotten a 27" fish this year, this is my worst year in ten attempts at the contest... But at least the fish are fighting good... Caught one last night that thought it was a rainbow or smallie, and went to the air several times on the way in... Sure was a fun fight, but it was 23" again... Down to 18 days left in the contest and I'm afraid I let my team down... Sorry guys couldn't help this year... Baring a lottery pick, I'm afraid the north is in trouble... Later J
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
