Went out to LB this a.m. with bows to replenish our supply of carp bait. Still lots of carp but they are becoming more wary from being harassed so much. Still managed a good supply.

While walking among the ankle-snapper rocks along the shore we saw lots of old dead carp. Found one really dead catfish that looked like he would have been a real monster on the hoof. He was pretty well mummified but I would have guestimated his live length at between 35 and 36 inches and weight better than 20 lbs.. His head looked to have been 10 inches across prior to mummification.

I know where he lived and he surely must have kin in that same area that are still available for ketchin'. I'll be there soon.

Good times.

You're gonna need a bigger...something.

Nice to know there are still bigguns passing on their genes.

Wow what a cat, hey I'm actually catching a few tonight and it's been pretty dang fun. But they seemed to have quit about 11:00. Maybe I'll call it a night. Later J
