I agree with John about this year being wild and crazy. I can't complain too much because it has been a banner year for me. The 34 incher i caught was a pb and will always be remembered but the best fish i caught this year was a 31 inch 18+ pounder. I have never seen a cat with a girth, a solid girth, like that one. I have seen a few with pot bellies that were pretty big but this one was solid as a rock and put up a hell of fight -- a real drag smoker.
I have hit the big pond pretty hard the last couple of days hoping for a score boost. Weather has been good but the cats just don't seem to want to play. I caught about 12 today but i worked for them -- five hours. The best was an almost 28 incher, others were 24-5 inchers. Not much fight to them with the colder water, 54 degrees today.
With cold and wet weather coming (??) it looks like I'm probably done chasing cats. Sure hope we get some good winter snow so we can fish next year.
It has been fun and I have enjoyed all the posts and pics from all the BFT cataholics. Special thanks to Jeff and Forest for keeping the scores up to date. Hope I am still around next year to pick up my chase for that 36 incher.
To be continued next year...
