Nice fish again, Jake. Some weeks you catch more big fish in a week than I have in my 3 years of cattin. You're obviously doing something right!

Got a camera man on the boat with you and you still manage to hide that face. Now who was the guide last night? You or Gordie?

Nice Fish Jake! You just keep slaying them....your earlier morning cat got me jonesin' so i went out this morning and got this girl round 9am.....Thing is this fish didn't take one foot of line. I was watching the line and noticed it was bouncing like a turtle was pecking at it. So i pick up the rod and hold it for a couple minutes while its pecking at my bait. Finally it grabs it solid enough(didnt take line) and i set the hook! And bamm its heavy and it surprised the [PoorWordUsage] out of me considering i thought it was a turtle......after a nice little fight i got her netted with some quick pics...Not quite an upgrade but nice fish for a beautiful morning on the river...

[Gordie]

Jake its fate that you be KING OF THE CATS and I would have to say that yes you was the guide being I have never really fished that area before but the little bit of area that I saw I learned a lot.The depth finder really tells a pretty good stroy.I had a lot of fun fishing with you guys last night. we gotta do it again soon.

Very Nice fish Guys heres a few from saturday both mississippi and minnesota river.

[Gordie]

getting those fish on raps ir is that something else tied to your line BTW those are some dandys

[farmfishing]

Just the one on a rap. The rest on cutbait. What a fight on light tackel!!

[Gordie]

alright this is as close as I could get to hotockets whole face in a pic.gotta love that smile it tells the story man. This fish was one of the most solid fish that I have seen in a long time its belly was rock hard and it was solid muscle right to the tail and very a heavy fish.

Looks like the one flattie has tire tracks up the side. Nice fish!

[pureinsanity]

Looks like a brute. I love seeing all these pictures of these fish. I love all the different colors each one has. I have never seen one like another. I would like to know what causes them to be the color they are. Seems a lot of my fish I have caught on point 1 have been relatively close in color. Next bend up they all seem to be a bit more of a mustard color.

I am assuming: diet, water temp and depth have a huge factor in a fishes color.

HPs recent fish sure has a variety of different colors! You can just tell in the pic that fish is solid. Defined belly not flabby... Maybe it ate a small shadow child just before she was caught.

Last night was my first time fishing the river down stream of Jordan. I pretty much just fish Jordan point 1 and 2. I need a d@mn boat! Shakopee area looked pretty nice and was an easy walk to get to shore.

[DTro]

Gotta love that pic! I know it put a smile on my face.

[MinnesnowtaWild]
