Over 50 fishermen in the contest. The Winner in the contest so far is a Walleye over 5 POUNDS 
That is going to be a hard fish to beat. One guy came close with a 4 and something Samllie. The same assortment of Pickerel (the main winter bite) and a few Crappie. The largest Pan fish gets a $50 kicker. That was a 14" Crappie. My crew did poorly. We only had 1/2 a dozen flags and we dropped several fish. Ended up with 2 Pickerel and 1 Crappie. The guy next to us jigged up an 18' Brown Trout 
Got him on a Swedish pimple tipped with a Fathead. After the weigh in we all got a free bowl of chili and a beer!

little "S" is the better lake IMO. limited shoreline limits the forked stick crowds and the eagles nest keeps areas off limits for months allowing refuge for fish.
You got the talking down, just not the listening
