What I did after the meet

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.

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.

 

+1 on that.

 

Should have came over by the Supra, I would have talked to you. ;)

Those are the ugliest fucking fish ever but I have never tasted anything so good cooked right.

 

Fried Catfish FTW!!!

 

I have never caught a fish in my life. I'll be 36 this year... Pretty pathetic, huh?

 

So thats why you bought a T/A.
