Thread: Find the Crappie in this Catfish pile.

Rigrunner, grandson Kelton and I were fishing for catfish...we each caught our limit here at Fort Cobb Lake. One of our 45 cats was a crappie and you can find it if you look real close. Not a problem for all you crappie fishermen.

some fine eating there, for sure.

They are great eating and I cook them just like I do crappie. We also froze a lot for later this summer.

I bet that was fun catching all those. What did you use to catch them on?

Very nice catch of cats folks, thanks for sharing the pictures.

We caught them on the new Danny King punch bait and Bill Rodger's cheese punch bait. He also chummed the area with cattle cubes.

I see the Crappie and possible Walleye, but all things considered that's a very nice mess of Channel Cats. Enjoy the fish fry.

I'd love to eat a mess of them forkytails but cleaning crappie has just ruined me. I'd hate to have to skin 'em all by hand.:rolleyes: Nice catch fellas.

I use my fillet knife to clean cats, just like I do on the crappie. They come out pretty clean.

THere's a good post on the Bream forum here with some videos of people cleaning cats and panfish in under a minute (2 per minute for the panfish) without skinning or scaling them...
