I'm sure some of these are old papers that got reported very late. These are the final numbers for 2003.

I'll start a 2004 table as soon as Claude sends out his first press release, usually sometime in early Feb.

wow 11 lbs spec wish i hadda tied into that this summer

 

[jay b]

I doubt very seriously that the 11 lber in question was caught in a summer month. I'm just guessing but I do believe that if the truth was told you'd find out that it was caught in a cold month in a infamous area with "HOT" water.

 

[Bassboy]

Well seein as i didnt do much fishin after the summer months and i didnt really fish for trout all that much we'd catch them at night at harrrisons when someone had a light but those were grays. Hope i can do a lil more feeshin next year.

Thanks again Rob for posting this here. Looking foward to th following years reports.

 

[AL_N_VB]

Yeah...who knew where a "Ditch" would be by a "Hot" watering hole.......

Naw ain't no specs caught in the colder months,especially 10 to 15 lbs monster Specs......ain't no where here

 

[Rob Holtz]
