Them grippers seem to be becoming all the rage. I picked up an orange pair from Cabelas a couple weeks ago, hoping to get them around the bottom lip of a kitty sometime soon.

Great looking fish, Jeff. given the color and the head shape I thought it was a flat for half a second until I looked at the tail.

[nsnutter]

Yeah that was a nice channel Jeff. Think we may need to go out again tonight.

These are channels (true double) from the end of last season in the Grand Forks area. I just recently moved to the Minneapolis area a few weeks ago and got a chance to fish on the Mississippi here for flats and channels. I am quite experienced on the Red and realized its another ball game down here. I'm hoping for some big flats to come this year. If anyone has some advice on when to fish for flats and good advice on how to find em that would be awesome. If anyone is interested in catching some monster channels up on the Red, I'd be more than happy to help anyone out!

Another double my roomate and I got on the Red. This one made the Herald newspaper, we were quite proud

[walleyeslayer18]

Nsnutter and I both have the gripper because we fish together...same grip.

But yeah people are using them more and more. They are wonderful for Channel Cats so you don't have to do the Channel Cat dance and it's way easier to weigh the fish. Worth the money in my opinion. Only downer is it can be hard to shove them in the fish's mouth.

Pulled these two out tonight. First went 23x13, and the second was a solid 33x19.5 weighed in at 15.69 on the scale. Great night out!

[Gordie]

those are some dandys nsnutter as for the grip I first started useing a landing net just last year but I dont think I'll go with the grip just yet. Besides I'm kinda of a hands on guy

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Nick was right, your fish disappeared into your camo.

Hey man sounds like a plan. My # is 952-564-5648 ... shoot me a text sometime and I'll let you know when we're plannin on heading out next.

[nsnutter]

Yeah wow I didn't think it was that blended ... so hard to tell on those tiny camera screens. What did that one go Kevin 9, 10 lbs.? I forget ... all I remember is it was like 4.5 kilos haha

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

lol ya 4.5 kilos 9.92 pounds not to bad of a channel

[blakeb]

nsnutter, that second one is beautiful, look at the fat belly form around your hand, HOG!!!

[nsnutter]

Thanks man! I was not expecting that on the line. It pulled real nice, gave me some nice runs and ripped out drag. When I first saw it thought it was a flathead. It was barely hooked, like in the soft skin corner of the mouth with that 5/0 gama octo-circle, thanks to Kevin (herekittykitty) we got her on shore. Knowing my clumsy self I probably would've lost the fish and tumbled in the drink. lol

Heading out in a few minutes here to see what wants to bite tonight.

[blakeb]

cool dude good luck i have a feeling that its going to be a tough bite tonight, i did ok last evening

9:20 pm

10:20pm

11:35pm

[nsnutter]

Nice fish bro! And, first off, I commend you for putting your trash in a bag ... I can't tell you how many spots I have found ruined by garbage left by anglers. Thank you for doing that! And second, is that an optima battery in that last picture? What the heck is that for lol

[blakeb]

yes i take the optima with to power my light, i took a trouble light cut off the wall style plug in and put on aligator clamps and a CFL 12 volt light bulb (really low draw) and there you have it a portable flood light. I need to get a smaller battery like a motorcycle one. easier tote!

And yes i HATE the dirty @#$%^&%$ that litter all there %^&* everywhere, cmon people you bring it with you but cant bring it out with you? Tread lightly.

Good luck out there tonight!
