This sounds great. How many people generally show up? Is there a fish limit...like you weigh in your top 5 biggest fish or how does that work?

Last year we had 148 entries. Previous years, we had about 100 entries. The way the tournament works is that you bring your fish to the scales and the heaviest fish wins. You have the possibility of winning all five spots, if you have the heaviest five fish. You can also bring any species of fish as well. Largemouth usually wins, but we've had some pretty big pickeral as well. Hope to see you there on Feb. 6th.

Did anyone fish on Silver this week? Just wondering what the ice conditions are like? If you fish or check Silver Lake, please let me know how thick the ice is. Don't forget, join us on the 6th for a great tournament!
