More on the Cat Results……
There was some major confusion at the weigh in for the cat tourney. But I believe we “Got ‘er Done”! 
Several cats were actually brought to the scales at the 3pm weigh in. Of course, these weights were tossed out when it was discovered that the cats were caught during the day. A couple of the “Scores” were recorded incorrectly by me. 
After the winners for the Flat and Channel category were awarded, it was brought to my attention that the entry for the flathead was actually caught during the day. That contestant was not aware of the fishing times for the cats and gave up the first place standing and St Croix Rod. Now, in an attempt to award the rod to the rightful winner, it was given to the person listed as the second best score. Well, that was a channel listed as a Flat…. 
So, another snafu that had to get undone….. 
So, now a day later I believe we got it corrected. The Flathead category rightfully goes to Comenchero15 for his entry. Sorry for all the screwing around there Comenchero, but congrats are in order! 
Congrats to Chris Simmons for his Channel entry that was never contested. Please don’t tell me it was caught during the day LOL…… 
Now, the question was asked several times as to why the 7pm to 7am hours were set. This goes back to the first year we had the Catfish Category. It was set up by the cat guys like that so us walleye or bass guys did not “Accidentally” catch and win the catfish tourney!
I’d like to see some changes for next year’s event and need you guys to come up with a format that would work for you and be easy on me! Any ideas? Just send them to me or post them here. 
Thanks, Congratulations and Apologizes.
