Still trying to find enough fish to make the money in Wednesday’s Stren Series opening round at Roosevelt Lake, Tami Curtis checked in with word that finding fish over 16 inches in length is a chore.

“It’s still just two or three ‘overs’ a day,” she said on her cell. “We’re catching lots of fish, but getting keepers (over the slot limit) is tough.”

She did manage a 4-pound largemouth from the brushy banks, but her highlight today may have been a smallmouth weighing better than 3 pounds. (See the accompanying photo.)

So far, the puzzle has been to find those larger fish. But the tough fishing bodes well for any co-angler who puts a few in the boat. Wednesday evening we should find out if there is any rhyme or reason to the pattern.
