Whopper Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Nice cats chiefvail. There a guy on a local board that brags about getting them out of the GMR down your way. I know those weren't from GMR but nice fish, Lake Monroe is a nice lake. Whopper
aplumma Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Nice cats bud. On the second picture I havent seen a face like that since I was Noodling and the fish had a good bite on the hand going. Art
Greencoachdog Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Excellent Catfish Chief! Did you take them on a rod and reel, troutline, jugs, or set lines (limb lines)?
Daplumma Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Thems some big ol fatties there.Nothin I would eat but fun to chase! Joe
tomO Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 They say the bigger they are the better they taste around here. I'll take there word on it.
GbayGiant Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 Looks like the one cat tried to get your beer and your fighting to get it back,lol.
Daplumma Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 They say the bigger they are the better they taste around here. I'll take there word on it. Around here the larger have soft and yellow meat.They fry up a little tough.I prefer to eat the 12 to 18 inch ones but love to catch the big ones.Very strong fish. Joe
tomO Posted November 22, 2006 Report Posted November 22, 2006 I've never seen any of the meat. I release everything. Heck when I'm in canada I very seldom keep one. I cut meat all week and the last thing I wanna do on a day off or on vacation is cut into a critter, thats why I don't hunt any more. Yes they are strong fish My biggest so far last summer was 26 lbs and put up a heck of a fight once it saw the boat I'm lookin forward to catching bigger ones.
john vail Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Posted November 22, 2006 Glen, I use 10' ugly sticks with either 4500 shamiano baitrunners or 6500 series abu reels with 30lb. p-line, and oh yea, my muskie net.

You done good Chief!!!... usually when somebody tells me they caught a big Catfish aound here and shows me a pic, I ask them if they caught it on a rod and reel... they say no, I caught it on a trotline, jug or limb line. Any knuclehead can catch them that way.
