They were catching a lot of undersized, 12- and 13-inch fish this year, so there should be a ton of 15-inch fish next spring. Anglers should have a lot of fun.

The females have to be a little bigger than that, but we will have more fish reach that size if we are protecting them at 15 inches.

He had a honey hole there where he was catching some nice fish. He didn't catch a lot, but his fish had some size. He seemed like a real nice kid. His parents were there enjoying it all with him.

You've got a surplus so far for the year of just under an inch, which is good.

The total for the year is only 19.46 inches. Of this amount, only .13 of an inch fell in December on three dates. The driest month of 2005 was November, when no moisture was recorded. The next driest month was April, with only .12 of an inch of rain.

I know the first year Smitty caught all of these balls and Moose wasn't catching a thing. Then all of sudden, midway through the season, it shifted and Moose caught on fire. That's just part of it.
