Nice. Is he scared to touch them?

By the glow of his eye, he appears to be part catfish!

nitefisher: No. These are MN. river fish. Went down to Granite area to get them.

RW: Heh, yeah, sort of. I wish I had the gloves on when grabbing the channel. As usual the thumb goes in the mouth and then the dirty SOB did his best impression of a vice-grip. And to top it off he thrashed right when I was digging hook out and get a nice scratch from a Gama across my other thumb. Oh well, it was all in good fun.

mplspug: I think those eyes are red because of all the video games he plays.

I never stick anything I don't want to lose in a channel cats mouth!
