    Payout: The payout is 100% and will be determined upon the number of participants. The payout will be split between Channel and Flathead catfish categories.

    Registering a fish: This is a catch and release contest.

    I’d like to point out that it did not stop Tony from fishing the last time. If you let weddings get in the way, I have to question your dedication!

    I can’t let you guys have all the fun.
    Would hate to not give you all a run for your money.
    This wave I’ve been riding on is got to crash soon.
    Better count me in.
    Look out!!!!

    I am a groomsman. The wedding is up by Wadena. I will most likely be incredibly drunk.

    These three facts make it pretty improbable that I will make it for the contest.

    My Dad and I are in. Hopefully I can get my Dad into some fish, after all it is his birthday on the 26th. I assume we can pay our entry fee whenever, right?

    Yup, $10. entry fee and $300 to fish with the guy that has the horseshoe.

    Don’t bend over LFC, don’t want it to fall out before the contest!

    There are already 6 people signed up as of now. Many more people inclined to fish.. It looks like we are probably going to have a bigger turnout this time!

    How does that song go by the GO GOs: “Doesnt matter what they say, crazy games people playaaayyyaayyy…… My Cheeks are sealed.”

    Just put the word out to a couple more to get on the board for the tourny. Hopefully Flathead Red and Shamu will make a showing.
    This could be a fun night.

    That’s what I was thinking!! There’s nothing like beginners’ luck!! And we’ve seen it before from Dan!

    There is one more in the wings. Flathead Red will be teaming up with Shamu. He’ll probably pay his entry on Sat.

    Any solo participants out there? I am still waiting for the word from my brother as to wether he will be fishing in the tourney. I was planning on sitting this one out, but if I can at the very least find 1 solo shorefisherman to partner with, I think I am in. After all, I need someone to wake me, right MrKeb?

    Hey PUG, Steve/Beave here. I don’t know if we’ve met-if you fish with Dave I’m sure we have- anyway I plan on fishing this contest from shore somewhere and would like someone to keep me awake also. I’m no CATPRO but have been fishing this river for 30+ years.

    I am heading over to Moore’s now to enter. So I will give it a try. Still new to this and have not caught a cat yet. Hopefully I can at least catch one.
