I noticed that the DWR had started stocking catfish in the community fisheries. So I took my daughter out this evening to one of our local ponds. She had a great time catching 5 cats to my 1. Three were between 21 and 22 inches, the other two were probably around 14 or 15 inches. My loner was about 19". The poor kids on the other side of the pond weren't too happy. They sent the youngest member all the way around the pond to ask what we were using for bait. Then yelled across to his buddies what we were using. We got a good laugh out of it. He could have just yelled across in the first place and we would have told him. The best part was seeing my daughters face light up when she would hook a fish. She also reminded me several times how she outfished me. Best Dad moment ever!
