Perch 10.5






Black Crappie 10




Jim, were you sand bagging and not entering these until the last day???  Cut 22, Perch 10.5, Crappie 10 and smallie at 16, way to knock me off on the last day... Congrats on second place it appears with two category first place wins... Great job between you and Jon, you brought in a lot of great fish during this contest... I assume you were fishing together when most of those catches were made, so that had to be a fun run... Nice job!!!

[Piscophilic]

Thanks Jeff! It has been a lot of fun fishing with Jon this year. Yes, almost all of our entries came from trips we did together. I'm not sure about the sandbagging thing. All these fish were caught in the last 4 days of the challenge. After our Friday/Saturday outing I was wiped out. I try not to post, write or edit video on Sunday as it makes me forget what the day is for. I just really didn't get time to do it until Tuesday and then Jon and I tried one last shot Tuesday morning. We were targeting white bass and I accidently got my first crappie and perch of the year.

[SkunkedAgain]

No worries Jim, I was just teasing about the sand bagging, we give a week on entries with no questions asked until the end of the contest when you have to have them in the next day so we can finalize the results... So hope you didn't stress about that, hard to show teasing text over the computer... I don't see any other entries this morning, so I'll try to put out the final results as I get time to look them over and hopefully see if I made any mistakes, but it looks like you and Jon most likely have won....More later to make it official...
