Wholly crap, you'll be eating catfish forever!

What lake were you fishing in and how much dose that thing way. Ive caught some big things on trotline's but never on rod reel. Congrats

CPR. Catch, Photo, and Release. I've got plenty of crappie in the freezer so no need to keep any cats.

Gonna be a cool one in the boat this morning at 35 degrees.

Lake Lavon and only 35 lbs. Caught a 28, 25, and 18 lber plus a lot between 10 to 15. Threw them all back. Would have made an incredible group photo though.

Lewisville has some nice ones as well...and even Grapevine.

Awesome cat, looks like a blue. Thats awesome that you released it, a cat like that will produce a tremendous amount of eggs (if its a female).

Shad are an excellent bait, but for some reason the fishermen around here prefer cut skipjack herring to shad, even though skipjacks are a bit less abundant.

Nice one!

Do they put up a good fight? Sure looks like they do.

Only 35 degrees? You should go noodling!

Nice catch!

Nice catch!

Noodling is for sissy boys. Now grapeling is another story.

I thought only Arkansas & Mississippi folks knew about noodling.

And if you think noodling is for "sissys"...try it sometime.

The first time a 50lb catfish chomps on your hand, or what you thought was a catfish turns out to be a snake....

Yup it's fun catchin those little ones on a rod n reel. Here in Texas we always throw the small ones back so they can grow into big catches one day.

Good catch.
Proud to know there are some others around that enjoy battling with Mr. Whiskers.

"Catfish is the fruit of the lake. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There's, um, catfish kebabs, catfish creole, catfish gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple catfish and lemon catfish, coconut catfish, pepper catfish, catfish soup, catfish stew, catfish salad, catfish and potatoes, catfish burger, catfish sandwich... That's, that's about it."

I never keep anything I catch. Cleaning and filleting a fish is a pain in the butt. I prefer to stop and get a couple hamburgers on the way home from the lake. Or cook some steaks.
