Thanks Lynn, Paul, Craig and Lance... I really appreciate your perspectives, I was wondering at first if anyone was even going to reply to the post, so I sure appreciate that you did... You have pointed out the one thing that I miss as well, the team competition and bantering that goes along with that.. I wish I could figure a good way to add that back into this contest. The last couple years we were really struggling to raise a team up north to compete. Down south was solid and had great support, but we were down to 3-4 guys total up north, so if anyone (mostly me) didn't do their part we couldn't stay in the contest to make it interesting and so it turned into a blow out... More fun to compete when there is solid competition... Anyway I recognize that we will probably always have the challenge of addressing focused species fishing verses everything and it seems like we have a little more interest in being able to fish for anything. So far I've pretty much only fished for catfish like Lynn, but if I had time to do it, I'd love to be hitting Willard and Bear Lake. But then again I dislike fishing in crowded areas so maybe I'd stick to Cutler anyway. So I hope we can find a way to address both interests, whether that is two contests or the current format. Wish I could cover two contests at the same time, but one is pretty much my limit with my current responsibilities.. Going to see if we get more comments before we decide on the format for Fall, but I sure appreciate your perspectives, thank you... Jeff
PS... There isn't a way we could do like two person teams, like the walleye and bass competitions do is there? Be thinking on that????

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
