Congrats Jeff. Are you willing to disclose what bait you used? I wish I'd been out fishing in the rain instead of sitting at work today.

Sure it was just good ole worms on the bottom. Good luck getting some now. Later J

[#008000]What do you think, time for an update!!! [#0000ff]Well, north has been way ahead, but as I was getting ready to write the report BLK upped the anti and brought the contest back into a close battle... Really is shaping up to be a close fun contest...[#ff0000] Less than a half inch average difference between the two sides now... Ones to watch, sharksugar is one fish away from bumping into the top 3.... Maybe number one... BLK and Ahi will keep slugging it out for the top... [#bf00bf]But where is Bottomwatcher, Gmwahl and catmaster23 the former north champions? BLK is the only former champion that is still playing... [#0080ff]Takes a lot of time to play with the cats so I'm sure other things have taken priority over our epic battle... Well too much BS... Here is what you were looking for... Later J[/#0080ff][/#bf00bf][/#ff0000][/#0000ff][/#008000]

Looks like a pretty hefty bump if not a hefty fish. Way to go! That 30 inch mark is getting closer all the time.

Thanks Lynn it was so close, I really thought I had my 30"er but couldn't stretch it far enough. If it fit it's head it would have made it. Big ole male. My bump board is too narrow for big fish it wouldn't fit in very well. Good problem to have. Hope to see that again. Thanks again. J
