We had 110 adults at this event, with 4 Kids under 12 years of age. It looks like we're going to have to change the name to "The Lange Catfishing Showcase" or something like that. Doc, Lynn, Stephanie, and Larry put on a show and took all our money back down to Southern Ohio, lol. I would like to thank Diana of The Home Town Country Magazine for coming to the event to take some pictures for publication. I wish the big Flatheads had been more cooperative but, well.....that's fishin'.

Gary Housler and John Martin Jr. won Cripple Creek T-Shirts in the drawings. Dawn Martin and Rick Berry won Cripple Creek Hats. Patrick Rumora won a $5.00 Gift Certificate and Andy McMath won a $10.00 Gift Certificate
The 50/50 drawing was won by Mark Harmon and the Rod & Reel is as yet unclaimed. The winning ticket number for the Rod & Reel was 543593.
There were some accusations made at the last event regarding possible cheating by certain entrants and we have had complaints from locals about other contestants taking fish from legally set banklines and jugs at Clendenning during our events. Here is how we are handling this problem. The unique situation in the first case makes it very hard for us to actually catch these people cheating so we have come up with a possible solution. As for the second case, WE ARE WATCHING YOU!!!!
I announced at weigh-in that we have contacted the Ohio State Highway Patrol to make arrangements to be able to have lie detector tests administered by the OSHP. In the future, any contestant accused by anyone of cheating will be asked to submit to a lie detector test. If they refuse to be tested they will be barred from competition in any and all future Cripple Creek events.
Our next event will be on July 24th. See you here!! Thanks to everyone!
