Fished hard for 9 hours on Sat. we caught 1 keeper fish and several slot fish... Took almost 15 lbs to win the Fishin 4 Kids Tournament..... Then there was the Poor Boys Tournament on Sunday and it had a lot of local talent in it... Several teams skunked and took a little over 11 lbs to win it.

Heard the guys who won the USA Bassin tournament on Sat. had 22 lbs plus and then on Sunday in the Poor Boys tournament had a little over 7 lbs.

Every one I talk to says Barren is just plain tough right now with the lake being up so high....Maybe if it drops at least back down to summer pool it'll get half way better than it is right now.....

Myself I'd go to Nolin to fish before I'd go back to Barren......
