[#0000FF]As I have said before, I no longer fish competitively. I entered the cat contest but I don't stay awake all night scheming about how I can win.
Most years I catch a few "contest worthy" fish without even trying. This year my two best big fish spots are unfishable...with water being too low. But I will still get out fishing once in a while and if a biggun comes to play I will take his picture, give him/her a little smooch and send them back to the gene pool.
I don't consider anything under about 30 inches and/or 10# to be worthy of paddling all the way back to shore and setting up a portable photo studio. So if the current trend continues I may not enter ANY fish.
This is the beginning of my multi-species fall fling. I will hit Utah Lake a few more times...but focusing more on walleyes than cats. However, I will usually be dragging a chunk of bait while slinging plastic. Most of my biggest cats from the past have been caught thusly. Kay, Sarah, Sarah. (Que sera, sera)
