Took a ride on the levee this evening and found some fishermen...thought everyone might get a kick out of this!!!
They weren't the only ones I saw with catches like this!

I have had a few of those on my line......fight like crazy.......
I hope they catch a million of them and a few million carp and garfish.
Where was that?

Andrews, he thought you said what was that. The location is the levee at Ramah. Off interstate 10 I would assume. Good bank fishing at times. Based on the catch the water may have been black and clear.
Over here we call em line stripping hook straightnen bait stealing grinnell but they do put up a fight.
I gave some sacalait to my Vietnamese neighbor a few times. Later he asked what kind of fish they were. Brought him a big choupique and he said, "Now that's a good fish there!!!" :yikes
The guy that mows my grass is Vietnamese....he made me promise to bring him the next choupique I caught.....I had a monster on a few weeks back and was thinking of him but it broke my line....must have been 10#.....Quote:

Haven't done that in years, but maybe something I should plan on this spring. :)
