TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 FINALLY had a day that I've been reading about on a local forum where other people have been catching fish like crazy. Got out in the kayak on the water on Hoover around 3:30 and started in right away. By 6 pm, I had caught 13 crappy (threw all back) only 2 or 3 that were over 8". But the highlight of the day was a monster 25" ~12 lb catfish I caught after the first crappy. Caught it in 3' of water in a cove on the east side of Hoover. I ended up giving it to a nice Asian fellow who was nice enough to measure and hold it up for me. This was the biggest fish I've ever caught in my life (33 years). I'm looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings. The crappies were biting like crazy and I barely had time to put the lid back on my minnow bucket before I was catching another one. Caught the cat also with a tiny minnow in 3' of water on 6 lb test. Didn't get any pics of the crappy (sorry it was just too fast), but a few of the monster when I was passing it off. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/kayak/DSC00691.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/kayak/DSC00692.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/kayak/DSC00694.jpg 25" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/kayak/DSC00696.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/kayak/DSC00697.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Nice! I'm taking my son sometime this weekend. I can't wait to see him land a fish regardless of size. Good times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Nice fish! I headed over to Gearheadz where madness ensued in typical fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I didn't know a ton of people there (was walking around with Casey & Chris), but had a good time while I was there. Sonic makes a mean coney dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I couldn't tear myself away from the bagged Neon long enough to focus on any other cars. Maybe next meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I went over to that car with a few other people. That car rewrote the book on the word rice. If you heard the things I did about that car..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
