		This is a Mantua catfish from this afternoon. Was driving back and stopped for a minute and walla. So I guess I can confirm thier presences in Mantua.
Ya,I know the contest is not going now....
And , I actually did not catch him. He was frozen under a sheet of ice in some rocks.
But hey, it is a confirmed Mantua catfish. First i have personally witnessed.
But I am wondering if I am spelling Mantua the right way....

Yes you are and if you can also spell Scofield correctly you win.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.

		Great to have it official, thanks for posting that. Was there any ice on the lake yet?  That is the first major lake to cap so we need to watch it close. Even though it’s starting to warm back up. thanks Jeff

		[#0000FF]When asked to spell weather...during a grade school spelling bee...I came up with W-H-A-T-H-0-R.  My teacher proclaimed it the worst spell of weather she had ever seen.
