[cool][blue][size 1]Hey Fuzzy, just so ya know, true blue cats are found in the large rivers and many reservoirs from Minnesota to Mexico. They are common and popular in the Ohio River drainage, where it gets as cold or colder than in Utah.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]Some of the biggest blues every year are caught during the coldest months. The real big fish blue cat experts do their most serious fishing during the winter months.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Perhaps the biggest factor limiting their potential for being in Utah...besides the DWR...is their liking for deep running water (big rivers). Utah Lake does not fit the description. They might live in Utah Lake but would probably never reach their size potential. Blue cats of 90 to 100 pounds are taken every year in some waters. A fifty pounder does not get the locals excited in most areas they are found.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]But, let's just dream for a minute. What if there was a big ol biggun in Utah Lake...and some moonlit night it grabbed onto Coldfooter's bait and took him water skiing right out of the bed of his truck and across the lake? Would anybody believe him then?[/size][/#0000ff]
