Fishing in Cedar's pond.

Finally felt like wetting a line. First cast of the year. A purple rubber crawler with a white stripe using my Dad's old zebco rod and reel.

Are you going to fry it up or did you throw it back?  That's a cool spot to hang out that you created up there.  

[Jeff]

I tossed him back this time but I'm  thinking of doing a catch clean and eat video.

nice!

What a place you have there.

[Magicman]

Yup, they need some cornmeal and hot oil.

Can you tell if the bluegills made it through the winter and mink attacks?

  If I understand you correctly you caught him on an artificial and that surprises me. I have caught a few catfish on artificial bait but did not think of a bullhead hitting one.

    I think he needs to be mounted on a plate (Deep fried of course) surrounded with cole slaw and grits and a side order of hushpuppies.

Sadly, I have not seen a single one. They should be bedding if they had.

[Jeff]

I did catch him on just a rubber crawler. Surprised me too!  I got several hits bringing it acrossed the bottom stopoed for a moment before I was going to crank it on in and wham!

The only catfish I have ever caught on artificial bait was channel catfish. Your catfish must be mighty hungry 😋.

Bullheads like Jeff has will hit about anything. They also survive in lower oxygen environments than other fish. They are tough little buggers.

I made a really boring video tonight. Furby gave me an el-cheapo action camera that had a snap into waterproof case. I rigged it under a big bobber and tossed it out late this afternoon. I shoulda done it when the sun was higher.  The video woulda been better I suppose if we would of recorded me out in the boat with a long handled net trying to retrieve the camera that didnt come in with the bobber due to my awesome rigging job. Astonishingly enough I found it. The case was open and the camera flooded. I have it in a bowl of rice, but I highly doubt it lives. The mini sd card did however still work.
