My breeder bass are 2X the size of the one I kept. I also have a good supply of channel cats in there but am letting them grow another year.
All of the fish were caught on a #6 with Japanese beetles, leaf worms or some hornworm caterpillars I picked off my potato plants.

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

We always scaled ours. Not a whole lot of flesh on one so one needs to preserve every bit for eating.

As I remember it, you are in a state totally bereft of yellow perch. Maybe some in Eagle Nest.
At least you have crappie and "bluegill" but not close. Much closer if you could go straight west.
Don't limit your challenges . . .

I absolutely love yellow perch and wish I had some in the pond. It probably needs to be bigger for them though.

I have a terrible time getting hooks out of the corner of the mouth on these channel cats. I feel like I am fighting for my life with their rubber lips!

Great advice! Posts: 18535 | Registered: 04 April 2005 one of us posted
Use a leather glove in the catfish's mouth and turn the lip down hard. This is the trick on catching large catfish. A good long nose pliers is a must to remove the hook. I like to fish with two or three rods in holders at Lake Somerville , Tx because you can get close to the water and the beer close to me. The bottom is sandy and is two to four ft deep. The poles will tell me to get up and remove the fish by how much it is shaking. A relaxing way to fish!!! I will find a couple of pictures to post.

My hemostats are not cutting it for pulling the hooks out. I'll try your glove and pliers recommendation next time I fish the pond. My channel cats need another year on them for size yet.
