I like your optimism! I thought about that a bit last year and I'm with you, I think somebody is due for one of the really big ones. In the 10 years since I moved back to UT, I have see 2 UL cats get publicity, like the local paper. One was about 22 pounds and was reportedly caught somewhere in Mud Lake. The other was 17, I think and 37 inches long. The "spot" was not revealed, but the background showed rip rap like the dikes on most of the harbors have. I seem to recall the last one was very early in the season, like March or early April.
I know that there are good catter's that don't go public, but I think it is about time someone in the contest got one like that.
There is also a relatively untapped resource for the south team at Lake Powell. Last time I looked the lake record there was 24 lbs. Most people there catch cats on dinner scraps off the back of their houseboats and I don't think there is much real cat hunting down there. I hope to find out in early May, as a friend and I are planning to chase crappie and walleye.
I'm thinking it's gonna be a big year for someone. I hope it's team south!
