Standings Spring Challenge

[SkunkedAgain]

    June 1st Update, not a lot of changes, but only 30 days left counting today... Contest ends on June 30th as a reminder... We also got a list for the June prize drawing, not as many folks entered fish in May so you will have a 1 in 13 chance of being the lucky winner this month... Good luck in the drawing...  Here's the current standings and good luck this month as you finish up the spring challenge... Later Jeff

    Hey All,
Sorry I'm so slow getting updated this go around... This is how I had hoped the scoring of this contest would work out, it seems like noone is staying on top for too long at a time... Paul has now moved into number 1 for this week, congrats... Fun to see how consistency across the six divisions adds up to a top score... I don't think Paul has any top fish, but has lots of top four or five fish and that is good enough to be on top.. Anyway here are the scores... Later Jeff

Hey guys just had another lead change Brett (Joatman) is now on top, so Craigs prediction came true... Now will he stay there?  I see a sleeper in the crowd, notice Ira (Wiperslayer1) lurking just needing a catfish to come out on top.... Will Ira take a trip to Utah Lake???? Or will Willard provide a worthy cat???? Those are the questions we will face in the last 8 days of this contest.... Not to say that any of the rest of you won't end up on top with one or two different fish in your basket, it's still anyone's contest... What are your thoughts by now?  Do you like this format?  I sure like it from an interesting one to watch, it has so many twists and turns... Thanks everyone for indulging me and trying this format, this is what I had hoped the contest would be like where we have good competition right to the end and no one totally runs away with the challenge so others don't keep trying... Hope you're having fun!!!  Later Jeff

Thanks for the recognition. I'm humbled that I was able to pull it off. I set a goal to win it later in the season after I got a few good fish. I believe that setting goals and striving toward reaching them can sometimes bring surprising success. I especially want to recognize my fishing partner, my brother Brett, known on here as joatmon. But for a little luck on my part he could have been the winner. Congrats also to DirtBag; he's quite a fisherman and a worthy competitor.

I'm looking forward to the fall contests. Thanks to you and Jim for doing them. I never got a carp for the Other category so I'm determined to spend the time it takes to get one. I'll copy Lynn and say I'm looking for a 36"er.
