Cat Chat

[SkunkedAgain]

Weird day today, I took my family out fishing in the middle of the day and everyone knows the big cats don't bite at 1:00 PM... Also you have to go somewhere tough to get to, if you want a big one right?  Well while we were pulling in mudcats all of a sudden my pole takes off and nearly gets away from me... I ran and grabbed it and it was pulling like crazy so I told everyone I had a big carp probably 27"er... thought that through several reel screaming runs and I eventually got it in close enough to see what it was, then I got nervous, it was a big cat, not only that it was my best of the year... Fun kitty.... Well fifteen minutes later, my pole takes off again and I got it before it went in the pond and this one fought even harder I thought and I couldn't get it up off the bottom, it just hugged the bottom... Well turned out to be another nice cat, but a few inches smaller than the first, in the middle of the day... go figure... Glad I took the crew out fishing today, but I'm not sure I earned these fish, they didn't fit my mold for when to catch big fish, no mosquitos, no hanging out all hours of the night, it was too easy of conditions, plus it was after I started farming and I never hardly ever catch big fish after I start farming... well glad all my rules got broken today... Oh and the big boy was on a night crawler, big fish only take cut bait right???  Glad I was wrong a lot today... Later J
