Catfish contest

[Tin-Can]

CONGRATS Mike ! I know I was never even in the close running. But in the effort to add points for myself and the Northern Team, I benefited even more in getting to meet several of the BFT regulars. I greatly enjoyed the Flotilla event, and have begun to learn a new body of water that I wasn't even aware of before this year. It is nice to be able to put a face and a boat to many of the screen names here. Wiperhunter2, RockyRaab, gmwall, Shunkedagain, Coyotespinner, BLK, TubeDude, and others.
By the way BLK, did you ever have the chance to try that Catfish receipe we PM'd about?
I will add my agreement to all the comments for Yote. For an inexpensive, non-professional fishin contest, The BFT Catfish Contest was more fun than many of the local or regional touraments I attempted years ago down in Georgia.
TubeDude, we haven't fished together as yet, but I know we have been on the same water at same time in the past before I knew who you were. Probably one of the most widely experienced and knowledgeable fishermen I've ever learned anything from. And one of the best (most humerous) fishin report submitters ever.

Many others on this site who may not have been in the contest, WiperMac, and all the supporters of the Veterans Fishin Tournamnet at Strawberry, you all do a great service for the vets of this state. Sincere thanks.

I have had some recent setbacks of a personal nature, and not been able to get on the water in about 3 weeks. But the current wx forecast for the next several days looks promising. Will be trying to get on WB again tomorrow.

Thanks to all the BFT members I have met this summer for adding knowledge, enjoyment, and friendly banter to my summer season.

Again, congratulations and good on ya,Mike.
