Our intent is to post the top 3 Bass, Catfish, and Bluegill/Sunfish caught by area fishermen in 2009. Criteria for submitting a fish are noted in the sections below for a given category.
As a general rule, once the top 3 fish of a category are posted, they will remain on the list until another fish "bumps" one from the list. Also, the top 3 fish are determined by length only and submittal of a fish are based on the honor system. There are no prizes for being in the top 3 but feel free to enjoy the bragging rights!
As we manage several websites on a volunteer basis, please be patient with us as we do this for free. We remain avid fishermen who enjoy promoting the sport and look forward to your pictures.
We hope you enjoy this site and Good Luck and Good Fishing!
