He can cook too!

Check out this cat guy.

Believe it or not this guy can cook up a heck of a cheese burger!

Now for the fishing report:

I left home at 2:00 and arrived in St. Peter at 4:00. One short hour later and my "guide" and me were fishing. We set up along a HUGE rock wingie. Chris casted his cut bait out on the edge of the current break and I lobbed mine into a eddy type of hole that was about ten feet deep.

I immediately started gettin hits. Hard rod thumping hits. Well, with little or no cat fishing experience I was doing a slammin great job of missing these fish. So Hanson decided to join me in the pool. It wasn't long before his rod was getting hammered hard to. Just hard thumps, no runs.

Papa Grump and dtro came up the river in Papa Grumps River Pro to chat for a while and they thought maybe turtles or small channels. But everytime I reeled in to check my cut bait, it was mashed up pretty good. If not missing.

Then it got dark and Rushing came and fished with us. (Rob, it was very nice to meet you) and we switched to fishing with bullies. That's where it went from there. No runs at all. I had another two hour drive to get home and we had 8:30 church so I left for home around 2:30 and chalked up my experience to a fun time for sure. Good laughs (thanks to Rushing) and good exploration of new water. Too bad the Minnesota River is so far away. It's loaded with trees and rocks. Sand and mud too. Weird though, when a river level is low, I am used to it being gin clear. Not the Minnesota, that baby was dirty!

I need to go again, and again!

Nice to meet you too dan! Too bad we didnt see any action but I missed 3 hits. You missed the excited ment as a little raccoon came to visit us. I put a couple of photos of him up in the photo sharing forum. We'll have to get out again! And yes Hanson can cook too!

Hanson's a cook? Looks a little rare to me

No birthday present for Dan this time, but have a happy one anyways.
