Wish I could have been there to tag fish this year. If it is any consolation, we have put a few transmitters into flatheads this year and are going to be implanting a few more this Thursday up by LD1.
Minnesota, have the catfish spawned yet up there in your area? There’s still a lot of blood on the females eggs here on the Cedar river and their very ripe.
Yep! There is a pig of a channel in that video too. The 2013 contest is coming right up too…
I believe it was last Saturday.
That video was from last year’s contest. You’re right, though, this year’s contest was last Saturday. Not many people registered two fish, so two decent fish in the boat would have given you a good chance to be in the money.
The normal pattern is all messed up here. I got skunked last Saturday. Usually this is prime time for big post spawn females but they aren’t hitting yet. They should have one of these tourney’s down here in September. That stout river channel they were tagging is an average fish here.
It sounds like there might be another tourney in August… with a date soon to be released. There was a full roster of 25 boats with some being turned away. This last KOTC Invitational 6/10/13 was a tough nut. We didn’t have any fish in the boat with an hour left… then the switch flipped and we got 5 in 45 minutes. We got lucky and managed 5th overall….
