Today was the Catfish Kickoff Tournament held under beautiful weather at Irvine Lake. Conditions where ideal with the lakes healthy population going on the chew just prior to the opener and the lake also recieved a massive stocking of channel cats as well to kickoff the opener.
A lot of quality fish where checked in today from all over the lake. The hottest spot on the lake has been boat dock cove where the action was nonstop for two days. The fish where showing a strong prefrence for shrimp in this locale.

The man, the myth, and of course the legend! Pontoon Terry Lairson of Hunigton Beach checks in with this 6.8 Channel Catfish. I think this fish had a lot to do with a little Ritual that i stated was Norweigan good luck. If you follow Deadliest Catch at all you know the boat and the crew I am talkin about. Well Trolly bit the stomach outta a Mac and I told Terry that he needed to do so as well. Terry bit the head off the Mac for his good luck!
