With turkey season over and the spring crappie spawn about done, many outdoorsmen seem to be taking a breather.

There’s just not a lot going on outdoors, except for catfishing.

There was a Cabela’s King Kat Tournament held Saturday on the Mississippi River in New Madrid, Mo. - and despite high, muddy waters, Daryl and Jason Masingale of Paragould, Ark., caught 89.25 pounds of catfish to win the event.

They earned $3,000 for the victory. The two, who are regular winners on the major catfishing trails, said they caught their fish using skipjack herring behind dykes in medium to heavy current.

Lindsay Sample of Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Chris Tramm of Lebanon, Ind., finished second with 85.15.

The three-man Mississippi team of Phil King, Tim Haynie and Lealan Harris placed third with 65.25.

I haven’t seen the results from the Bass Pro Shops Big Cat Quest event held Saturday at Paris, Tenn. But I’ll try to pass those results along when I get them.
