I would just like to tell you guys that I am now daily pulled to you guys... kinda like a good new ice cream. To tell you the truth, I get mad when I catch a catfish normally because I am trying to find crappies or walleye's. All they do is gooooo up my line, or break off my light line on my ultra light. I admit they fight great and are fun to reel in. BUT after finally looking at this thread a couple of weeks ago, I find myself checking in here EVERY DAY. I have to see what team got on the board, and who got upgrades. I have never in my life caught a flathead but am fairly sure I would have to wear a depend when I finally do. My buddies in South Texas fish the Guadalupe all the time for cats and I tease them that they can catch call the mud suckers they want, while I eat the wonderful white flakey goodness of a walleye or northern or perch or fat slab. Well, I must say you guys have me hooked. At least on watching right now. You guys are like my wifes obsession with Days of our Lives.

Just know I am really enjoying the stories, and pics, and if you guys ever want to get some southern MN cat fun on channels, I have a couple of lakes to take you to any time to find anywhere from 5 to 10 pounders really easy.

Enjoy and for God's sake be carefull with your hands in those enormous jaws!!!!!!!

Guys will think I'm an (Contact Us Please) when I tell you a short story,in the 60s my uncle would take us fishin from I think it was Newton up the back channel to the Zombro,just to catch mudcats 40-50 lbs even bigger,we'd catch em with a spear,mostly throw them on shore,trash fish.Try that area shallow they should yet be there.Sometimes honesty isnt the best policy!I'd never do it again! did'nt know anything about cats till I moved south in the 70s,and I'm hooked now also!!I saw Winona thought you were from the area,my contact us was me refering to how dumb we were

I don't think you are an (Contact Us Please), it was just a different time in our history. We as anglers have learned a lot about fishing and fishery management over the last 30 years. You may regret what you did years ago but it was acceptable at the time. Just look at all the early photos of the In-Fish guys with stringers of trophy walleyes. We look at those photos now with an "Oh my god" expression while they are grinning from ear to ear in the pictures.

We've come a long way.
