Catch and release, or golden fried fritters? I'm looking at that and thinking potato salad, onion and iced tea Quote:
What were you catching them with? |

I'm typically a catch and release guy, I'd like to see him grow bigger and hopefully catch him again, so it was his lucky day. Plus, despite it being a great place for big catfish, you're not really supposed to eat bottom feeding fish out of the Kansas River because of pollution.

Heading back to Truman in the morning. We went last Saturday and got skunked. We didn't get out until nearly noon, fought the wind and dogs were being a pain. Tomorrow we'll head out much earlier, no dogs and the weather will be much nicer. Hoping we find the crappie on the banks and get our limit.
Almost forgot, I didn't put the plug in last week so the bilge pump got a workout.

Maybe if I'm not dealing with getting the damn dogs in the boat I'll remember to put the drain plug in this time.

Yes, I should mention that Redmond is probably the shallowest large lake around. It's maximum depth is about 12 feet so the spawn is early there much like the creeks and rivers above a reservoir or a small pond would be. Most other large reservoirs on the actual lake are not there yet with the fish on the bank.

I tried to get back out this morning.
The Kansas river doesn't have a lot of access to it for shore fishermen and the water had resided a few feet since yesterday. The steep banks and syrupy mud would have made landing fish impossible without a long net or gaff. I guess I'll try again tomorrow. |

The morning bite was pretty good. I got three in the live well that were caught within 5 feet of the bank. My wife stomped my ass today though. The three I caught early would be it for the day. I don't know what the hell happened. I had one that got off just as I was lifting it into the boat. Other than that, I really didn't miss too many opportunities. My wife had staked me to an early lead while she was dealing with tangled line issues. And then she started catching fish. And more fish. And more. She ended up with nine nice ones in the live well to kick my ass 3/1 on the day. Most of the fish we caught were in the 11" range. It really slowed down in the afternoon. I had hoped for a little better day, but still brought home a nice bag of fillets.

About 3-4 years ago I was at one of the more popular points, had been there for atleast an hour and was having some luck... here comes these two guys in their boat wanting to pull up about 20 feet from shore and start casting I stood there looking at them for a bit, just stunned that they thought this was ok... I'm like "uh, what the hell are you guys doing?"... "uh, we're fishing" The hell you are I said, I've been here for an hour... "well we're here now", at that point I said to hell with it, I told them if they were going to butt in on me, none of us were going to catch anything and started picking up larger rocks and throwing into the water around the bank to spook any fish away "Hey mfer, you better knock that shit off or we'll come up there and handle this"... so I walked to my truck, pulled my ax handle from behind the seat and told them to come on up and handle it "We'll see you around mfer", ok sure was my reply as they moved on... the fishing was ruined at that spot, but my point had been made, couldnt believe they thought that just because they were in a tourney that they could just roll up and fish over me |
