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.

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. :)
I see the crappie, and also what looks to be a walleye? You can clean all those channels for me Rigrunner I'll give ya mine LOL!!! Nice catch ya'll.
Leland I think I see a walleye also. Nice mess of fish.
Rigrunner and grandson Kelton cleaned all of them in 30 minutes. Now he knows how to clean fish!Quote:

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.:eek::rolleyes: Nice catch fellas.:)
I use my fillet knife to clean cats, just like I do on the crappie. They come out pretty clean.Quote:

There is no need to skin cats when you have an electric fillet knife. Just fillet them like you would a crappie. It sounds mean, but I always take a hammer to there head before I fillet them also. One good whack will usually kill them. You'll know they are dead because they'll twitch a little and then nothing. It makes the job a lot cleaner and safer, especially with that electric knife.
I wonder if you got really good with a normal filet knife (like the fish mongers) I wonder how fast you could clean a mess of fish. Its my goal to be that good someday.
I don't know but it'd be pretty cool. I can't ever keep a normal fillet knife sharp though. I guess I'm unwilling to spend the money on a good knife.
Yeah if I was ever so inclined to really try to get good at it, I guess I would buy a knife that is fairly expensive and a sharpener. The only problem is that I need to start catching more fish to practice on.
The electric fillet knife is hard to beat. The manual one has to be too sharp to do the job for me. My granddad could keep a knife sharp enough, but I didn't get the hang of sharping knives that good.
Hey rigrunner, you got any room for one more to go fishing?? I've been at Ft. Cobb a few times lately, and still trying to figure out what to use and where to go.
We'll see what the next few days holds. Supose to be pretty with low wind. How can I get in contact with you? I'll be glad to take you fishing.Quote:
