Last year just about all of our regional tournaments were cancelled due to Covid. This year the fishing is so much better especially on the river systems . Places that 20 lb was a good bag now it is in the high 20s and almost 20 to get a check. I am not a biologist but it has to help fishing by not snatching a fish off her bed and carrying her 50 to 100 miles to another river to a weigh in.
