Channel cat are awesome eating. Only thing better are Crappie! I’ll take yellow cat over channel and Crappie. I'll take yellow perch or walleye over all of the above. Yep, the yellow perch are king of the freshwater fish for eating. Walleyes are damn fine and far bigger, but the perch reigns. Perch reigns as bait, for yellow cat.

The Gibson family own an entire peninsula here on Cedar Creek Lake. The home is huge but strangely modest...just a huge compound where in years past the whole bunch would gather. Seldom see anyone there anymore. Maybe a mile around the shoreline from us. I laugh at all the sporting goods I bought there when I was a kid thru eighteen. Shotguns, rifles and all the cheap ammo you could ever want. Yep. Greatest Sporting Good Store Ever when I was growing up. Wished Fuggin Walmart hadn’t put them out of business. 😡 There's still a Gibson's in Weatherford, TX

I love fishing threads. So much I relate to. I dumped the boat in this morning in fog so thick visibility was about 50 yards. Pulled plugs around for a while in the mist and drizzle and a perfect walleye chop. Managed 6 sandbass, 3 saugeye, one crappie, and one flathead. The flathead and all but one big sandbass went back, the rest of them will make a fine Sunday dinner tomorrow after church. This little guy was odd looking, lots of black on him.

arrgghh you filleted them ...noooo.
rake the scales off, cut the heads off and gut them. then fry them. the fins come out like potato chips. fillets are for pu$$ies. these are right out of my pond.
I used to eat 'gills and brim like that and got tired if picking through bones. I then learned how to fillet them properly. We don't like skin or bones in/on our fish. Dipping fresh fillets into the sauce and chowing down without that BS is its own reward.

Good haul! I'd never fished for bluegill or crappie until I moved three years ago and discovered the lake 10 minutes from my house has a bunch. Fun to catch and some of the best eating fish ever!
Not to sidetrack too much, but whatever became of your Tundra that got stolen? Seems like there was also an ATV or motorcycle involved. Was it ever recovered?

That was a Toyota T100, one of the nicer ones left in the country. The ATV in the bed was a grizzly 700. Truck was found after several months, but I was out of the country when it was auctioned. The ATV was offered on a CL type site in Seattle and I received a tip on that, some really great LEO I had some help from closed in on it and *poof* the perp vanished, ....

Hopefully the thief is getting their karma and suffering from a severe case of Sabertooth Crotch Woogets.
