Keeping Cats

[eyesonly]

Sorry for the dumb question but I have to ask It-I Have a good Buddy that's a cat aholic and on the cat board all the time like you guys but I cant get a hold of Him .

I've been catching a bunch of channels on the croix the last couple of weeks and tossing them back but Id like to clean a few up. I know nothing about Cats but I'm a die hard croix river rat and love spending time down there.First, what is a decent size to keep for the pan? Fillet them like a walleye ? and do I even want to keep them ? again,sorry for the lame questions -Thanks- I'm heading out at about 4:00 pm - thanks again

Nothing wrong with having a meal now and then. Just like any other fish that I have eaten, the smaller the better. I have kept them from 15-22".

Take a look here.

Thanks Harvey Lee - Great Info - I may even have to buy some cat gear

Just be careful with buying cat gear. Once you start fishing the river you will probably not be able to stop. I speak from experience.

I third this!! This is nuts! So addicting. I barely fish for other fish anymore.

And almost bought a jet boat.

Being addicted to "catfishing", is one thing. The biggest addiction I have now is this website. I spend more time reading post's and writing post's than fishing. Sometime it feels like you are fishing (or at least what you would be talking about during fishing).

Just wait until you build your first tackle room. Then you know your addicted.
