FIRST TIME IN ABOUT 10 YEARS!!!!!

After about 10 years of not targeting catfish I decided to see if I could still catch them or not. Got to the lake this morning at daybreak and for the first 45 minutes I went lookin for Hybrids. Found a few but only one good one. After a couple of pics I tossed her back and went lookin for a place to drop anchor and bust out the stink bait.

I had no idea if I would find any cats or not but after about 30 minutes of baiting out the hole it was on!!!!!!!!! I tried using two rods but it was impossible!! My bait wouldnt even stay wet for 10 seconds before a fish would grab it! I got my limit in a hurry and continued to catch them one right after another for about 5 hours just for fun. I didnt even mess with the 12" ones. If it wasnt 14" or better I just threw it back. Broke a few good ones off because of the 10lb line I was using but oh well. It was just like old times........only BETTER!!! Went through 2 tubs of bait before I had enough and I left them wantin more. From now on there will be a tub of bait in my boat for the kitty cats!





INSIDE THE LIVEWELL.

Looks like fun!

Cool

THF approves this

good eaters there, looks like a blast.

You still got it.

Nice job

Nice haul, I wonder what's for supper.

Awesome ....which lake did you tear up?

Look at all them channel cats! Good job man..

Believe it or not its smoked backstrap. I thawed it out yesterday and didnt want to waste it. Sucks having to choose between the two though.

That would be Ray Hubbard.

Now that is fishing.

Congrats , awesome !

What did you bait em in with?

Thats a nice mess of fish

Great catch!!

Nice haul, congrats

Very nice job!!

Great job!!!!!

Thanks everyone. Between Catfish and Sandbass my freezer is in pretty good shape for awhile. I wont be keepin any fish for awhile thats for sure. That dont mean I cant catch for fun though.

After spending the last 10 years chunkin and winding with artificials it sure was nice to just sit on my rear end for change and let the fish come to me!

Time for a THF fish fry!

fish fry!

wow thata a nice mess of cats sounds like you had a great time on the lake

Nice mess of fish.

That spells a great time. Nice catch!

Nice haul

Congrats
Those fillets look awesome!
Nothing beats fresh catfish

My motto is that a fish aint caught until it spends about 3.5 minutes in 325 degree peanut oil!

Looks tasty!

that looks fun.
