62lb
There was the 62, a 54, a 35, a 25, and 8 other flats under 25 in that one net. Couldn’t hardly roll that net in the boat lol.
That’s an ugly river down there, but it’s sure got a lotta catfish in that stretch.

Interesting! I did a guided catfish trip at that same location many years ago. The guide launched the boat right under the arches. We caught fish but it was plenty warm.


I have nothing clever to put here.

What do you do with the cats? How do you like to prepare them?

Flathead belly meat and bluegills would be a real good feed. Nice fish.

You bet Tracey. Love that hole about like a stick in my eye.
First time I’ve been there in a heckuva long time.
I’ll stay up here in farm country. Not sure how anyone lives in that armpit.
