I never entered my catfizzz !

Back in the day they would have a huge banquet for all the winners.
All the outdoor writers and all the F&G staff would go, now that was a great prize ! I did win a fillet knife one year.

Last year I caught a bullhead big enough to win an Adult Division Award. After going to 5 different businesses to weigh it on a certified scale, I finally had it weighed at a supermarket. The award I received was for catch and release, not the Adult Division Award that I was entitled to win. Nobody received an Adult Division Award for bullhead last year. I got screwed.

damn, I just missed the rainbow catagory. I had an 8 pounder, I did submitt it and got a certificate

Crazy that there were no Northern Pike entries. I don't think the 34" requirement is THAT crazy...

I sent an email to NJ Fresh Water Fisheries Biologist Shawn Crouse last week and he had Jessica Griglak correct the error and I just received my 7th NJ Skillful Angler First Place Award for the 15.75" 2 lb 1.28 oz 9.25" girth brown bullhead that I caught in the Millstone River 9/17/2011 with my homemade corn meal bait. Shawn and Jessica are great.
