Night of the Living Catfish
« on: March 22, 2010, 11:12:03 am »
Me, Mechslasher, and Cody threw out some jugs Saturday night, wound up with about 75-80 lbs. of fish-21 catfish and three lake lizards. Didn't catch any monsters, but we got some pretty good ones-an 11 pounder, two ten pounders, two eight-pounders, and as assortment from there on down. Had a ball, and got plenty of fish-fry ingredients. We're planning on bringing some catfish to the Hickory shoot and having a fish fry one night, so durnit, I guess we'll have to go catch some more before then. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. ;D That catfish juggin' is a lot of fun.

What kind of cats are they? Channels? If so they look a bit different in color than the Yooper Channels.
Wouldn't eat one of the local ones for a million bucks yuck :P

i think they were all channels except the one on the far left, it's a flathead.  hoping steve and cody can come back soon and i can put them on a 50+ pounder.  it's a blast to watch someone get the net on one of them!  especially when they are on a long line ;D

I don't know what Jug fishing is, but it sounds like a better idea than noodling. ;D
