: 2019 Catfish Contest
: Latimeria April 06, 2019, 07:54:23 AM
OK, this is a straight up catfish throw-down.  We all can't get to the beach during the summer when the shark fishing is slow and we all have ponds around us that makes it easy for us to get out and fish for cats during the summer doldrums. 
Rules are super simple and prize(s) will be awarded at the end.  (Prizes are not acquired yet, but there will be something put together by the end of the year for the winner.  I will announce stuff as I receive it)

Rules

Starts April 06th, 2019  - Ends December 31st, 2019

- Catch from a Boat, Pier, Shore, or anything that floats

- Heaviest Fish wins (Weight) but still want tape shot if available (so bring your scale or use the one at the local lakes ranger stations)

- Does NOT have to be CPR.  These are mostly stocked fish and a catfish fry is encouraged, although we totally support if you are CPR here.

- Any Catfish Counts (from the state of California Only) - Channel Cat, Blue Cat, Flathead Cat, Brown Bullhead, Yellow Bullhead etc.

- You have to catch the fish... no hand offs to kids or wife and calling it your own if you didn't reel it in.

- P-Soul members and mods are the only ones eligible for this contest, so if you are not a member, be sure to join up and at least post a "hello" message in the general forum. 


- Pictures are mandatory to be counted.



Simple.  Just make sure you have a tape measure, scale and camera for the picture shot's and we have a freshwater game going!

Last years champion... EricH.....

Put in request with the day job, challenges are legion but worst is you need to bring all gear and the jungle plane is strict about 33 lb baggage limit. All hardware needs to be black because anything shiny attracts piranha.

Have 2 travel rods but Okuma makes some in heavy duty levels.

hahahahaha, it possibly looks that way!  I thought Jim would have this coveted achievement, but the old bass stick in the community pond has been the ticket!

Time to make my move and remove Eric the B assman from the leader board!  I thought this contest was custom tailored for Spidey, but he's been quiet all year!

I've got catfish secrets that nobody else knows about.
I might have to retire my PS champion crown after this one.
 Grinner title is next.
;D ;D ;D ;D

Last night catfishing trip of Jennings is tonight...  Evening catfish run, or Morning ocean run to get some last meat of the year?  My body is still worn out from being sick as hell, so it will be a last minute call. 

Heal up that back Jim!

I've lost 10 pounds this week, and going to use this nasty Flu bug to maybe get me back in the right direction.  Less drinking, no smoking, exercise... I need to do something now as my body should be like this in the 60's and not late 40's!

Well, since I’m at my moms again, you should do the meat run. Last time you got two nice yellows.
