I went for it. It was a beautiful day for fishing. And they had a great turnout. The guy running the show said that they had 500 paid entries. Over where I was there wasn't much for northern action, but the perch were hitting really good. In fact I got 2nd in the combanation of 3 perch catagory. I lost my .01 of an ounce.............dang it, I should have cut off a couple of hooks rather than taking them out. lol. But we kept 18 really nice perch, 5 of them over a pound. And 6 northerns none of them over 4 pounds. but get this there were so many extra contestents that they raised the prizes for the northerns. First place was 1200 bucks, and it got won by a guy with a northern just over 7 pounds. WOW. I'm definently going back next year for it. How about you?
