I like fishing too.

Just bored this morning and found this forum. Thought I'd show fishing I've done down at Lake of the Ozarks. My daughter loves fish also.

Nice catfish. And the green trees, shorts and short sleeve shirts look great too. Waiting for warm weather. Arne.

Nice catfish!!!

Arne - I too and ready for warmer weather!!!

 

[Runningwolf]

I see you struggling a bit. What does something like that weigh?

 

[winemaker_3352]

I would guess 60 - 80#'s...

 

[Arne]

Actually that ain't a fish, thats a hog. LOL, Arne.

 

[grapeman]

Are those big ones like that fit to eat? If they are you would need an empty freezer to pack all those fillets!

It is easy to see why you were smiling in that first picture.

Nice! We fish mostly for catfish and stripers, stripers hang 50' to 60' feet down so landing one can be quite fun.

 

[GEM]

Do you eat those suckers?

 

[galen1]

Well, we have fun with the blue's. She was 55#'s and no we don't eat the big one's, ever. 25 and below we eat. She was small. Trust me. I have pictures to prove it. We sometimes pull 200#'s a weekend. We play hard, all night. You have to work all night to get the big one's.

Very nice, did you see the thread I started awhile back? http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f19/fishing-13878/
Below is my biggest fish to date on boat and then biggest from shore. Boat was 51" and shore was 39".

Sea Bass and stripper? Real nice fish.

 

[galen1]

My friend Tommy and I with his dad caught these in an eighteen hour period, within a half mile of my cabin.

 

[Runningwolf]

Great now who's going to clean the bottom of the pond?

Sea Bass and stripper? Real nice fish.

Both Striped Bass. In your pic with all those cats, why are you able to see the ribs so clearly, where they drying out in the sun for some reason?

 

[galen1]

No they are not dried out. Blue cat are like that. Have thin skin. No scales. If you look close you can see the ribs on the one thats lying on the dock. He was just lifted out of the water.

 

[Wade E]

So do you slow smoke the ribs with a dry rub? LOL

 

[Chateau Joe]

The only fishing I'm doing right now involves standing on ice.

 

[Wade E]

I havent gone in 2 weeks now due to the temps here, I dont ice fish. Temps are going back up to 45 -54 this week so cant wait to get out there again, going stir crazy here.
