The weeds jacked my juggin up at butla.
Went a few weeks ago at Pickwick and had to quit fishing...I caught so many it was turning into work. Caught a bunch of blue cats on jugs...all weighed 8 to 12 lbs.
Good stuff. ThxQuote:

And will try something new every day when it comes to eating something.
Caught about a 3lb large mouth saturday and kept it.You would think i was trying to keep a gar with all the crap i caught from Slabin and when it was all said and done he stole it from me.
That's funny. About three years ago when the little white bass and largemouth were so plentiful At butla, I would keep those little bass and fillet them and freeze them in packs of five fillets for my buck. Mom could thaw out a pack and cook it with tater tots in no time for lunch for him. They were awesome.
Well said! You ever eat a grinnel?Quote:

Sippi they just tear up all your spidering lines when crappie fishing is why they get the opinions on here.I love fighting a big cat and love eating smaller ones!
If I am fishing for em I dont mind em, hate catching em while I am crappie fishing tho. Ifn you enjoy em eat em, not much better than the belly meat on a flathead just dont fish for em any more.
I've been on the river and have caught some good size cats, (catch, photo, release).
I have been at Sardis spillway from first light til dark, keeping every cat that was caught. We would have a big family fish fry and I would get sick everytime.
I can eat a couple of small pieces, but no more. The doctor did some test, I have a reaction with catfish oil. That's why I don't care to keep them. If I catch one, it's given away when I get to shore.
Now you know why I say :puke to catfish.
If you know how to trim up the meat on the blues and flatheads they are better than store bought fish any day. A lot of folks like channel cats but they are not fit to eat in my opinion. Lots of oil in the meat, it's almost stained yellow coming from these lakes and rivers. The good thing about a good mess of catfish is that they will feed a lot of people.
They are good if you know how to prepare them. Don't soak them in water, and slice in small pieces.Quote:
