Roughfish.com June Species Contest nearing an end
Well, it is June 29th today, only 1 day left in the fishing contest that I entered.
Man did I fish a lot this month. I haven't fished this much since I was a kid going to the Coon Rapids Dam every day.
I feel I faired all right. My goal was 15 different species, I currently am at 14 with a VERY good chance of hitting my number. I need to catch a Largemouth Bass and I'll be there. You think that wouldn't be too hard, but without a boat, not as simple as it seems I guess. About 85% of the fish I caught in the contest I landed from shore, that should be worth something. Tomorrow I'll be heading up north to the cabin, I'll be fishing the lake hard in search of the bucket mouth.
The contest was great though. It is amazing how you can catch fish all the time, but when you need to catch one you just can't. I had the hardest time with a Perch, Crappie and Northern, go figure.
Check out "My Photos" section if you haven't for a while, I have posted all the pics of the fish that I have caught for the contest.
Oh yeah, there is no chance I will win, the leader has 33! Yeah, he crushed everyone. If you want to see all the fish entered, click here .
Hopefully I am running to the nearest hot spot tomorrow to upload my last fish.
