Great fishing and good times capped the Bite On Catfish shoout out. Lots of good sized Cats made their way to the scales as once again it took a fish over 7lbs to be in the money. Fishing was good in the deeper water by Sierra Cove, bouy line and back in the flats. With the King/Queen of the Cats a lot of the qualifers where out for a tune up. Who would top the field?
