Robert Curtis Marysville 18.42 * Winner of Grand Prize, Boat, Motor & Trailer Michael Higman of Clearlake Oaks caught the 25.11 lb winning fish between Rattlesnake Island and the mouth of the Keys with a dead jumbo minnow. It was a fun derby as always but the wind was bad enough to hamper the fishing, especially for the smaller boats. Mary and I never got a bite and we talked to many other participants that experienced the same thing.  A lot of the fishermen that weighed in fish didn't experience a lot of action. Some said that it was their only bite. I was really happy to see that Everett "Catman" Walton caught the 22.07 lb, 7th place fish. He spends a lot of time fishing the south end of the lake and has always added a lot of good information to my fishing reports. Way to go Catman!! Wishin you good fishin.............Catfish Ed * Sidney Pierce from Vallejo with his 4th place catfish weighing 23.64 lbs.   For recent Clear Lake reports go to the FORUM
