Franklin Catfish Derby?

[mr_jman]

Since I had to work over the weekend and wasn't able to get to it, or fish in it. I was just wondering how many got registered and what were the biggest fish caught this year?

Thanks!

On Sat evening it was a 47# leading and the closet 2nd was 37# 13oz. At that time they were the only fish over 30#. Rusty should be able to tell you better. I saw him on his way up there after the parade.
