@dakota- very true- I wouldn't have considered it that way- and well stated

Nice work guys

[MudCat08]

Nice job Chris for finally getting into these catfish! I have only caught one so far but I am searching for more!

Left out of this report:

The ancient voodoo ritual I participated in to remove the flathead curse! I won't go into detail, too disturbing.

Still not sure why we didn't measure your bigger fish! Guess you'll just have to land an even bigger one.

And the 30# braid is in the trash. 80#. Don't care if it's over kill, that line snap on the rocks is haughting my nightmares!

We all have a voodoo ritual for fishing- just some guys don't admit it- I like braid a lot- but rocks and knots are the big downfalls-

What did those kitties eat anyways

Uggggghhhhh! Some of those rocks are so jagged and sharp you'd think you were fishing a coral reef! No problem with beefing it up a bit! The curse has been lifted!!!

Congratulations for a great catch! Damned good eating I've been told. World record over 120 pounds! Sweetwater guys got a lot to look forward to.

Live sunfish. I've never had a problem with the knots but yeah the rocks shred it. Leader didn't seem to help. No telling what's down there, beef up best you can and cross your fingers when you hook up I guess.
