NCCATS-Black's Camp Catfish
Tournament Results For July 29, 2006
Just before the tournament there was a pretty big thunderstorm to
hit the area that dumped lots of rain and flashed lots of
lightning. A windy front come in after and stayed through the night
and angler's fought 3 and 4 foot waves on the lakes during the
tournament. With threats of the storm and the front coming in
surely kept angler's away but there were 36 teams that come from all
over the country to test their catfish fishing skills. It seemed
like everyone caught fish and some of the big one's bit too. Most
of the fisherman said they had to pretty well keep check on their
catches to keep them alive due to the scorching heat but everyone
did a good job keeping the fish alive and healthy.
