Hey TubeDude,
Where did you get that good looking minnow ?
One thing worth mentioning, is the location of the conversion from fish to bait. If one does it in the house, one's house will smell like the bait or water from which the bait was taken. In this case, I did mine outdoors because I did not want my house smelling like the muck we waded in to get the carp(particularly important for me, because of my hounds - I don't want them climbing on my kitchen counter to find that wonderful smell that the hounds naturally want to roll in).
Thanx TD - it was fun wading in the swamp hunting for catfood with you - even though it was one of those acquired olefactory delights and a lot of slogging in the muck and mire - maybe next time, I can bring a little more modern technology to the expedition and contribute a lttle more to the bait wrangling effort.
BTW - my minnow weighed in at just one once shy of 5 lbs. Most of which was not converted to bait - unfortunately. But, I did get quite a bit and hopefully it will be enough to convert again into catfish fillets on one of my next outings.
P.S. Nice pictorial !
