And all I was trying to do was share the love. :hyst I'll keep my mouth closed from now on. :tape

:hyst

I think the real reason her mouth is closed is because it's all jammed up with Nutella! She couldn't talk if she wanted to.

....and everything was fine till I found that hair in my teeth...

[pistache]

Yeah, right. That ranks up there with "This won't hurt a bit" ... "The check's in the mail" ... and "I'm from the government: I'm here to help you."

How on earth did I miss a wisecrack like THAT!?!?! :woah: :hyst

So you think I can't keep my trap shut, eh... how long till I replied to this comment of yours, huh?? 3 entire weeks...

Which ones? Blue (channel), spotted (opelousas) or mudcat? They're all good

Anything that sticks to the hook! LOL

I do quite a bit of Catfishin! Well, lots of fishing period. And I just added Fly Fishing. Anyway, my boy and I usually bring home a mess every other weekend or so. We love catching the big ones, but prefer them in the 2-3lb range if we're going to cook em up. Here's a few pics.


Here's a pretty rare 3 lb Albino thats going on the wall.





And my boy with his first Carolina Large Mouth!



I was proud that day!:)

[Ort]

Wow! You guys really know how to reel 'em in! Your boy looks like a nice young man.

Thanks! He is a great little guy. He'll be 10 tomorrow. And I have no idea where the last 10 years have gone!

We fish as a family quite a bit. My wife loves to go. Baits her own hook and removes her own fish too! Unless it's a big one. Here's a little one she caught in the Cape Fear river.



And here's my daughter Hannah with her first catfish, caught the same day.



We spend a lot of time out doors, fishing and hiking. Which is just where I think God wants us. Not sitting in front of the TV

You have a beautiful family. :) God has blessed you greatly. And, you're right...........any time away from the boob tube (especially as a family) is time well spent.

[WKUHilltopper]

You have a beautiful family, budgolf. My wife would rather read a book while I fish. My 15 year daughter is too "prissy" for that fishing stuff--but I swear, I think my 10 year girl would take a bowie knife and wrestle down a catfish. She keeps pushing me to take her bear huntin' too.

Funny, but I took her (the 10 year old) cat fishing a couple months ago before it got too cold and only caught one Channel cat. So I gave it away to some Chinese guy when we were leaving (because it wasn't enough for me to clean and fool with). But my youngest daughter went off the deep end because I gave it away! I tried to explain he may have needed it for his family, but she wanted to eat it. hahah

Never seen an albino cat...

Hill, keep taking your younger daughter fishing and hunting. You'll never regret it

She does love it. Wants me to get her a bow for deer hunting. Maybe this next season. I've tried to emphasize to the kids these are good skills to have--just in case. Funny, but "just in case" may be upon us.

I told her I once when deer hunting with a Bowie Knife as a 19 year old kid--back in my "grizzly Adams days". Hahaha....must have been my Cherokee genetics rearing up. My ancestors were German-Jew too. Maybe that's why I've wanted to get a Shofar lately....LOL! (No, I never got a deer with a knife--and lucky for me. Because I was too stupid to realize a deer would have probably pounded my head into the ground!)

I catfish as well, spring and very early summer i focus on the channels, then I focus just on the flathead.

Lots of fish in the deep freeze.
