[font "Arial"]This annual Woman With Bait fishing derby give us ladies a chance to go fishing and catch some fish, and boy the fish were biting.
On February 7, 2003, the first day of the twenty-three day long tournament, eleven women fished and landed twelve Steelhead, how’s that for an average, Glenna McClure, the owner of Seven Devil’s Bar and Grill, led the tournament the for the most and the largest fish. Glenna caught four fish one measuring 34” which was the largest for that day. She was also tied with Marilyn Johnson from Eagle Idaho for the smallest fish, which was 23.5” long.[/font]
[font "Arial"]Glenna’s reign as fish queen would soon come to an end when Tina Murrel decides to give her a run for her money. With Craig Morrison as her guide Tina landed six fish, taking the lead for the Subaru Legacy. Sam Whitten helped Susan Ryder from Boise get on the boards by catching a 38” fish. Nancy Roberts from Boise and Shelly Wallace from Nampa tied for the free Steelhead rod and reel when they caught a 22.5” Steelie. Hey Sam it looks like we are going to have to buy a couple fishing poles this year!
Craig Morrison on the third day of the tournament thought Tina would get that Subaru legacy with those six fish measuring at 181.5”. We’ll see about that Romine thought. Becky MacVittie landed six fish with a total measure of 185.5”. That makes her the leader for the most as of 2-10-2003. Ed Carlin showed Wendy Shell of Boise where the big fish was and she landed a 39.5” Steelhead. Way to show them how it’s done girl.[/font]
[font "Arial"]Elinore Anderson from Boise added another 22.5” to the tie on February 10th with Sam.
As day five rolled around Vicky Lowe from Riggins could tell Sam was getting a little nervous about the three way tie, so to ease the tension of her guide she reeled up a 22” the smallest as of 2-11-2003.
Day Six was really fun I got to go on Sam’s boat along with Sam’s sister Becky and the Bait Boy of the Year, well that’s what we told Waylon Herzig so he wouldn’t throw in the white towel on us. I tried to get that car from Becky but Angie Hall from Riggins kept catching my fish.
Well, we’ve made it to the halfway mark of the tournament. Only 13 days left to go. We’re all keeping our fingers crossed here that the guides are going to make it to the end. Way to make them work for their money girls! You’re wearing ‘em out. The competition has been fierce on the river. As of 2/15/2003 we have had 121 fisherwomen, 194 fish hooked, and 147 of those fish have been landed. Wendy is still the current biggest fish titleholder with her whopping 39-½ incher. Becky is also still holding on to the title for most fish caught at 6 totaling 185 ½ inches. However, Kay Bengochea of Eden, Idaho is now in 1st place for the smallest fish at 21 ½ inches.
The days continue to fly by and the women continue to get more and more competitive. [/font]
[font "Arial"]On 2-16-03 Jacky Hall managed to land another 21-½ incher which tied with Kay’s for the smallest. As of 2-17-03 180 fish have been landed and 143 ladies have fished. No other records have been broken but on 2-18-03 Nicola Johnson from Riggins added yet another 21-½ inch Steelhead, making it a three way tie for rod and reel, again. Good job ladies.
On 2-19-2003, fourteen women fished and landed sixteen.
On 2-20-2003, nine women fished and landed nine Steelhead. Marsha Judry was on her way to winning the car but fell short. She landed a two 38”, one 30”, and a one 23”. Nice try Marsha!
On 2-21-03, twelve ladies fished and landed four fish.
On 2-22-03, Ed Carlin helped Janet Black catch a whopping 20¾ “ taking the lead for the rod and real. Way to show the how it’s done Janet.
On 2-23-03, eleven women fished and caught six Steelhead.
On 2-24-03, fourteen ladies fished and landed eleven. As of 2-25-03, 236 fisherwomen have fished and landed 231 Steelhead. Not bad ladies, not bad at all.
On 2-26-03, seventeen ladies fished and landed twelve fish.
On 2-27-03, four of the local ladies got together and thought they better give it a whack. However Cindy Carlson was the only one the reeled up a big one. 35” is pretty big but not big enough to take Wendy Shell place. Sorry Cindy, maybe next year.[/font]
[font "Arial"][size 1]The second to last day has come and the titleholders are getting nervous. We signed up fifteen women this morning and only time will tell is Becky, Janet and Wendy can keep their spots. Becky’s spot was almost taken by Kathleen Anderson. She was well on her way to the car with four Steelhead landed, but the almighty Fish God wasn’t on her side. [/size][/font]
[font "Arial"]On 3-1-03, the last day of the tournament I might add, eighteen women fished and landed eleven fish. No records were broken and the winners are ecstatic.[/font] [center][font "Arial"][/font] [/center]
