My embarrassing fish story comes from a summer night when I was in high school. me and a few friends loaded up and headed down to the river bottoms for some late night catfishing on the bank of the arkansas river. we got there late and didn't think to bring a lantern so we just built us a fire and and comminced to fishing and drinking. we didn't catch nothing the whole night, not even a nibble. when the sun rose the next morning we could see that about 30 yds in front of the bank we were fishing from was a sandbar. Our baits had been on dry ground the whole night and were only getting wet when we reeled them across the small pool between us and the water.

That's hilarious Blair...Hey I've often wondered how many pounds of fish have been carried out of White River right there at Lock 1 since it was built. A bunch. Me and Frank were down there fishing one night for catfish with chicken livers...One slammed ole Frank and took off down river just like you described...I held his pole and he went down the ladder it was 5lb. Rainbow Trout. Lot's a good memories on the old lock...
