2009 King of the Cats Contest

[Whisker Warrior]

Shad was the key bait last night as i climbed the channel leaderboard with them..also went back to Kato and got two small flatty's and missed two that probably went 10-15lb on bullheads..the cats are meowing!

Chubs won't start flowing through town until the Dam store in rapidan starts stocking bait. They supply many of the bait shops in area with creek chubs. They usually start a week before game fish opener so you should see them real soon.

With a 37 point flathead last night....I would say they are stirring. I will enjoy 3rd place while it lasts It was good to see them again....really got the blood pumping from my previous sleeping position.

The bite is definitely on. They are out and they are hungry. Had a big boy probably about 20 lbs snap my line trying to land it so I was a bit frustrated all night but the 46 pointer made it a little better.

Leaderboard Update:

HOLY ENTRIES BATMAN!

I woke up this morning to a full KOTC inbox. Nice job guys. Keep this up and I won't have time to fish myself.

Some real nice channels coming in. Just a matter of time before the big Flats start showing up.

Nice job Nick! What hours do you work? Maybe we should hit the river some time, I'll bring the bait and you bring dinner! Do you live in Little Bohemia or just work there?

[HotPocket]

No pics of Big O Cat and Slammer22 nice big channels?

Hey thanks man! I would definitely be down for slayin some kitties with ya man ... I generally work nights, Friday nights I have off, but I am more than willing to take a night or two off ... I live in Little Bohemia, but I also work in Mankato, which is why I'm down there so much ... let me know a night and we'll get something set up!

Went out for a few hours today before work in Kato, landed a 27x14 (forgot the camera today sadly since I was flying solo) and lost a real nice Flat ... broke my 30# BBG Mono. Looks like it's time to invest in some PowerPro!

Caught a nice size Flat and a 47 pointer.

[sparky27]

My berkley digital scale showed they were both between 20-22 pounds.

Leaderboard update:

Lots of very nice channels being entered, and the flatheads are slowly trickling in.

I expect a a very different looking Flathead leaderboard in the next couple of weeks

[Flaco651]

I've got one to send in after work that should bump me up the board.
