I fell one spot short of goal #1 and 3/4 of an inch short on goal #2. I'll still have several opportunities for try for #2 though. Haven't really had the chance to work on the other three yet.

Congrats Seth on your Second place finish! I'm certain that you will break that 20" brown trout goal.

The question is John do we give Seth credit if he catches it on a sculpin some other jerk caught

Just make sure the sculpin is dead.  Otherwise it hides under the rocks and won't get bit....  That's what an old lady told me at Norfork one time.  She had lots of 20" plus browns to her name...😁

You're a sculpin catching fool for sure! Next year instead of fishing the tourney, just sell sculpins for $2/piece and then go fun fish. You'll come out ahead. Everybody is going to be wanting to use them after the past few years anyways. Business should be good. 😁

Only fished twice this year. I did catch that Ocean pout to put one on the Lifer list. The next 6 to 8 weeks will begin the push towards my 2022 goals.

3) Catch at least 15 lifers with targets of - Actually bumped this up to 17 lifers. Now only need 15 more.

    a ) two lifer goby, blenny, and/or sculpin;

Got a two-fer on Sat. Caught a new lifer that was also a sculpin 😁. Blue-ridge Sculpin! Love that orange in the dorsal fin. Don't know much about these guys but would have to think that this is a male (both pics of same fish). I orginally thought this was a potomac sculpin but had the ranges and the characters switched between the two.
