We had a fishers of men tournament on Saturday. I fished after blastoff until time to set up and I blanked. Fishing was tough on Friday, but everboyd caught fish on Saturday. Only 2 boats out of 35 blanked.

Just under 16lbs won first place and we paid 7 places. It took 9lbs to get a check.

Top three places were culling fish.

Lot of fish caught up in walnut creek and several fish caught in the river.

Hey Pastorbass,
Was this the weekend of the 15th? We've had a monsoon since then. A friend of mine and his sister won the Fisher's of Men on March 15th with 13 pounds plus. (West division I think) Not sure which division fished that you're talking about this past Saturday (22nd) and 16 winning it. Anyway, I'm sure it was tougher after the great flood. See ya'll on the water,

Hey Lee,

Congrats on the top 20 season finish and a spot in the regionals.

Thanks Jeremy. It sure was fun this year as is every year but I thought you did an excellent job this year with the division. Looking forward to next season.
I'm guessing, but will it probably be sometime around July before we can find out where the regionals are going to be held? Just wondering if you had an idea. I'm sure that the national office won't say anything until then but it sure would me nice to know so that I could take that into consideration when making my fall class schedule out, but I'm sure that isn't going to happen.
Oh well, call me if that missing check ever shows up, and remember that it has a stop payment on it.

Yeah, they won't let us know anything. However, I am assuming that since the national are on Cumberland and last year's regionals were on Kentucky that we will be leaving the state for the tournament. But that is only an assumption

word on barren is that they are going to hold the lake @ 546 and don't plan on dropping it back down. Since it didn't fill up last year the corps may be a little gun shy. No telling how much revenue was lost in Barren in Allen Counties because the lake didn't fill all the way up.
