BilletHead Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Decided to try a different place. Pulling Flicker shad. This thing made a run like a hybrid. When we seen it flash in the clear water we knew it was a good one. Then when the behemoth breached the surface and Pat's eyes got rather large.. This is her largest to date of any species. 30 inch plus blue cat. Pat said lets weigh it, I said no scale in the boat. Where is your "Bogo grip"? I about lost it laughing. One of the nicest specimens I have ever seen. Its back in there awaiting the next lucky angler, tho1mas, Ham, bfishn and 17 others 20 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

jdmidwest Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 What, no catfish filets? Nice catch. We whack the cats on tubes all of the time. Caught one bass fishing last time out on a ned and a light rod. Looks like she had a good fight and did a good job landing it.

There were crappie, white bass and a small walleye landed. And a trip would not be complete without drum. I got six of those and she never got any. Crappie were invited for dinner. She says I'm going to fry them in my hammered skillet and she did. Fun day for sure. Messing with the walleye I put a hook pas the barb in my right index finger. Duh. Pushed it through and cut behind barb and reversed it out. Rest of the morning used pliers . Stupid is as stupid does. laker67 and Daryk Campbell Sr 1 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

rps Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Beautiful! Hook in the finger? Tell me about it. Boga grips, lockable hemostats, pliers are mandatory. The lipping BS of the videos is, in fact, BS. BilletHead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
