My friends and I had fish that would have taken top 5 in 2007.
I will download the appplication and enter a few this year to see what happens.
These were also from western PA rivers too.
This year, Joe Gunter and I will represent the Eastside with a few.
The Westside will go DOWN!

Good luck but the Eastsides three rivers are like Flathead Eden. I myself have been on outings that pulled a top five a number of times. But I am all about a friendly race for a placement!

[great pappy cat]

I would have been in the top 5 twice last year.I thought they had to be larger. I guess that was the Infisherman master angler award that a flathead has to be 40# +. In 2004, I submitted a channel cat to the fish commision and Infisherman. I got my name in infisherman and PA Game and fish magazines that year.Their is also a local big fish contest run in the patriot news paper Ive placed in that the last 4 years.My name is still on the 2004 list you provided a link to.Ill Submit any monsters this year will yeild. After last years success, I cant wait to see how big the susky flathead will get this year :big_smile::wink:

I dont mean to toot my own horn but, its nice to get a little recognition for all that hard work
