Catfish for dinner!!

This Blue cat fits perfectly on a cookie sheet.....baking now with butter and garlic.....

 

Must be delicious , right ?

 

OMG tastes just like crab meat!!!

 

Someone let this catfish go outback in my lake. I think he catfishes for a living locally. It’s a Piebald and I now have a chance at him. Will be cool to see around twenty+ pounds!!!

 

Rollin out to catch a tide tomorrow....

 

My wifey is coming to help me start my Johnson.......she enjoys pumping the ball...

Now if only the fish cooperate. My tide calculations are always a hour or so off....

 

4 pounder. Perfect eating size but he is a little lumpy and has a crooked spine. So I think I will pass....

 

Wait this fish is over 8 pounds! I had the scale on Kilo..., Fish is worth $30 a pound...Once you factor in the gear/boat/SUV and all the other crap that goes with it...,,

 

Update: just landed a five pound eater now I’m ready for a citation fish!!

 

Im in the doghouse for keeping one. Future note, I should already know this, catch and release when the wifey is onboard.....

 

Ok one more pic then no more until I get a record. My trophy wife sporting her life preserver. No line during launch and recovery...

 

I’m down. The bilge pump seized, I get about five or so years out of them saltwater eats them up. I ordered one rather than pic one up...

 

Operation:Catfish, night mission.
Location:Top secret, anchoring in the channel 70foot deep.
Reconnaissance:Sonar soundings of the area.
Target:Be put in the record books once again by landing a citation Catfish.

 

It’s on now! Have an incoming tide. Set up in 65 feet of water.

 

Caught an outgoing tide.(I’ve fished two incoming tides and it sucked). Using 7 poles, landed prob twenty fish biggest was 14 pounds....half of a citation.,,,

 

21 pounder!!!!!Im so freakin happy!!!!there getting bigger. I’ld like to thank: CatfishPro.com, Tayler’s sporting goods, Wellcraft, and ofcourse Toyota!!!!

 

And Tim’s Rivershore restaurant has some great Crab Balls, but I used up the last of the toilet paper there....

 

14#, Ive gotten three of these this year must be a three or four year old fish?
