Hey just wanted to thank you again Steve for the great night on the Croix glad that you broke the skunk streak with a nice fat channel last night. I have to say that the catfish rig you have is First class to say the least. that is a real nice section of river you fish and hope to join you a few more times.

Steve you have a deep passion for cats and thats really cool to see and I'm really glad to finally have met up and fished with ya.

Thanks Gordie

That's a whole new ball game over there, ain't it Gordie?

The Battleship and Steve go well together, they are both first class.

[SteveD]

You are welcome in the Battleship anytime, Gordie. You were great company for a late night of catfishing. I didn't envy you that long drive home after a hard day of work and a night of catfishing. I wish I could have put you on a fish or two - the cat bite is tough right now.

I'm sitting here thinking I should head out tonight but it's raining and I wouldn't mind putting the feet up and watching the Twins game for a change. Trouble is we are down to the last 6 days of KOTC and I need a big flat to pass you up and get back in the GREEN. Sounds like a big break in the weather is on the way but I'm not sure there is time enough for the weather to change this fishing around before the 30 September KOTC close.

Funny thing is that channel cat I caught last night is the same one I caught on 11 September. My stinger hook made a scar on his forehead and as soon as we dumped him out of the net and on to the deck I recognized him right away. It is getting pretty bad when I start to recognize the fish because I have caught them before.

We need to get together for a sturgeon trip, Gordie. I'll stay in touch.

[SteveD]

I couldn't stay home with the calm winds and perfect catting night. Trouble is I got skunked again. At least the Twins beat Kansas City. Looks like some big weather changes on the way. 6 days left in the 2009 KOTC season - I need a big flathead.

[Gordie]

Steve fishes so much that he knows the fish by name heres one he caught on Wed night that he had caught earlier this season.

this was a 30 inch channel that tiped the scale at just over ten lbs
