    Default For you catfish lovers...


    Hit the water this morning in search of the elusive summer time slab. Figured I'd do a little spider rigging over some brush tops. Just got my poles set when my #8 pole rigged with a pink Arkie jig head and a Bailles special Mid South tube had a good thump. I quickly grabbed that foam handle on my 14 foot pole and got the best battle I've had from a fish in years!
    After several minutes of line stripping and slow retrieving, I reached down and grabbed my trophy!!

    First time I caught one of those I liked to have freaked out. I'd never seen one before nor knew they existed. They are good to eat I found out. But the part I froze fell apart when thawed. Nice spoonbill.

    Very cool! I was fly fishing below beaver dam back in college and felt something rub against the back of my legs. When I turned around it was a HUGE paddlefish. It was a surprise to say the least. I saw many more fishing up there over the years while in school.
