I’m not going to post the photo of the 2004 winner…
Now why would you say this!! If I remember correctly in 2004 my flathead was a little fish but it did win its category, right? Don’t show the picture but at least recognize the supreme effort that went into winning the flathead category. What was embarrassing was the channel cat was bigger than the flathead so I just kind of hid until everyone went home.
I think I was one of only a handful that fished that year so it was easier to win. Doesn’t my name get etched on some kind of big gold trophy they keep in the Catfish Hall of Fame or something like that.
What was really embarrassing was the Walleye guys caught a nice flathead trolling the wingdams that was the biggest cat all around but we DQ them because they caught it during the day. Watch – this year one of us cat guys is going to catch about a 30 inch walleye on a bullhead and they will DQ us for fishing at night. What goes around comes around.
