Dear Catfish Enthusiast,
Last year the ODNR-Division of Wildlife held our first "Ohio Catfish Summit" to share information about statewide catfish fishery programs and discuss concerns related to Ohio River catfish issues. The summit was so well received that we are holding a second summit focusing specifically on the Ohio River on February 22, 2014. You are receiving this letter because you were on the original mailing list from last year or have otherwise expressed an interest in attending this meeting.
The purpose of this meeting is to provide: • an update on Ohio River catfish issues as a follow-up from last year's meeting; • information from a recent Ohio River law enforcement case; • a summary of results of our 2013 Ohio River Angler Mail Survey; • an overview of our proposed catfish telemetry project on the Ohio River; • an "open forum", similar to last year, for discussing specific issues, ideas, or concerns.
Please find enclosed an agenda for this meeting. It will be held at the Izaak Walton League of America (Hamilton Chapter) located at 450 Beissinger Road, Hamilton, OH 45013 on February 22, 2014 from 10:00 AM until 1:00 PM. If you or someone you know is interested in attending, please RSVP to Sharelle Jones (e-mail: : sharelle.jones@dnr.state.oh.us or phone: 614-265-6343) by February 13,2014. All anglers or other interested parties are welcome, including those that have not received this letter. However, we do need to require an RSVP to help plan accommodations.
If you have specific questions or concerns about this meeting, feel free to contact me directly by e-mail (scott.hale,a dnr.<;tate.oh.Lls ) or phone (614-265-6554).
We look forward to seeing you in February!
Sincerely~ Scott Hale Inland Fisheries Program Administrator ODNR - Division of Wildlife

Those regs are for a daily limit. There was a questions as far as the legality of transporting live fish across state lines, and why it was being permitted...they didn't really have a clear answer. There are a lot of things at play here with the DNR and the commerce side of things. We just need to make sure they know that we care about the catfish fishery that borders Ohio and Kentucky on the Ohio River.

The KDFWR based on their catfish study this year and the November 1st meeting in Princeton Kentucky are going to be proposing new Regulations on the Ohio River, here they are....
1 over 35 for blue/flat (each) and 1 over 28 for channel for entire core length of Ohio 50 CFers will be allowed 4 over 40 below Cannelton (not sure if aggregate or of each species)
Unlimited take of catfish under the lengths given.
Tributaries and the rest of the state are open game.
Even though these regulations are not very effective, none the less it is a step in the right direction for the catfish fishery on the Ohio River. A commission meeting will be held on December 6th in Frankfort to possibly vote on these regulations. If you have concerns/opinions with the proposal please e-mail the commissioners and voice your opinion as the original proposal can be amended. This issue is just as much an Ohio issue as it is Kentucky's...Please show your support!!!

I find that most people that over exaggerate didn't actually weigh or measure the length of the fish, they are only guessing the weight. Of course on the other hand, if the perspective of the photograph is poor it can diminish the "look" of the size of the fish.
