Robert Cardwell from White House, TN, and his Dad, Charles, from Bowling Green, KY came down and fished with me Saturday.<br /><br />It wasn&#39;t a fast &amp; furious kind of day by any means, but we captured a few respectable catfish ... and had LOTS of fun.<br /><br />The bonus was watching Charles reel in a hefty little flathead. I don&#39;t catch too many of those. They&#39;re a special fish.<br /><br />The good news, we got a few &quot;big fish&quot; bites yesterday -- bigger than these, much bigger! The bad news, we broke off three and had another one just come unbuttoned. emoMad <br /><br />Robert and Charles were very cool about it (although Charles made it clear he really wanted to break the 30 lb. barrier). When good things happen, the guide takes credit... so when bad things happen, the guide takes the blame. I should have re-spooled, re-tied, geared up or otherwise done SOMETHING different. Bad guide. emoBang <br /><br />But my boat is hooked up and I am heading for the river right now, so I suppose life is still good and gettin&#39; better every day.<br />
