Wrong type of fish for it to have been impressive ;D

Went out Monday with my boss fishing for big blues. My brother and another kid came along too, and it made out for a great day. Think we caught probably 12-15 in the end, my 18 ended up being the biggest sadly. I really wanted to put my bro on a 40+.

We also kept a 6 we caught, filleting it up ten minutes later and throwing it in the frying pan. Best fish I've ever had, and a really cool thing to do. Frying up a freshly caught fish while you kick back and wait for a bite. Awesome. Here are some pics.

Biggest of the day, 18 lbs.

My bro with a FAT cat.

Captain Mike fryin' up some catfish. God that stuff was really good.

Looks like you guys had alot of fun. Me and a buddy of mine went out to a local lake and caught 21 crappie today. We caught some SLABS too. I think I'll post some pics soon.

Very cool ! I love catching those big ol' kitties

Fish

Sounds like you guys had a great day on the water.Congrat's.

sounds like a great day. your pictures really tell a story.

i think i know where those pics were taken lol.  nice fish.  Im going to send you a messege asking if what i think is right.

Oh man does that fish look good!

Thanks guys, and the fish was amazing. I thought it wouldn't have been that much meat, but we had more than enough to feed two more people.

It was one of those days that you won't ever forget. I mean really. Mike is an awesome guide, friend, and boss. He has a passion for the river that is unreal.

Forgot to add, Mike also guides Eagle-watching trips that are amazing as well. He has names for all of them that have a significant meaning, that either people from past trips have named, or it goes along with where the nest is located. He took a shad and injected it with air, threw it out in the river, and "Bandit" swooped down and grabbed it from the water. It truly was amazing. Made the hair on my neck stand up and I got the chills. It was like something from the Discovery channel.

WOW - great fish...and I bet a pretty good fight too!   

Congrat...what a day.

They always taste better fresh, or should I say, REALLY fresh.  My buddy and I bring a grill with us duck hunting and grill up some ducks that we kill while we hunt.  We normally kill a limit, grill up a few, then kill a few more to bring home a limit. 

BassFishinMagician...that local lake wouldn't happen to be Saline huh?  I heard they were already startin to catch the slabs shallow, but thats hard to believe.  How deep did yall catch them perch?

WOW!! and yummmmm I want whats in the pan!

Nice job. Looks like a really fun outing!

Those catfish nuggets look really good.  I really hate skinning them, but fresh Creole-style catfish is good eatin'.

Awesome fish, bet they tasted great

You had me going there with the title to your thread.  Nice catfish by the way.

Then preppin' and eatin' em on the boat, how cool is that! Love catfishing

Thanks guys. Can't wait till it warms up so I can get back on the mid-James and guide some more flathead trips 

My boss wants me to get a captain's license so I can run my own trips and rates, etc.

nice work!!  8-)

I'm jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
