Catfish Contest Thoughts

[SkunkedAgain]

Thanks Pat, I can see the potential... Kind of depends if folks are interested in contests or not, I know a lot aren't.  I like contests for pushing me to learn new things and trying something that I haven't done before.  I've found a lot of really fun things as a result of trying to fill a category and I think that is a lot more fun than trying to keep pushing to catch the biggest, although that can be fun too, but I like learning new ways to catch fish and I think the tug is my drug and it doesn't always have to be the hardest pull to be exciting... Sometimes the gill on a fly is pretty dang fun too... I hope the group is ready for a larger scope to try something different.  I wonder about doing short term contests within a contest, like maybe the most species caught on a certain day, or biggest panfish weekend or something like that... Maybe those short term shootouts will keep folks paying attention throughout the summer... Hope I have time to join in the fun... farming habit always ruins my summer fun... I make big plans and then get too busy to enjoy them... That's why we'll get a good group to help us make this work... Thanks for the input and knowledge you add to our conversations...  Jeff
