Cleaned 2 - lost 1 - holding 1

In past few days - got 3 keepers mixed with the baby channel catfish that I get daily - and lost a big one this AM on trotline.

The last hook on the trotline is too close to the weight and when I went to lift it - a big catfish had ran around the weight line and all it took was me lifting the weight and the catfish was gone - best guess was at least 8 lb (was longer enough to be anywhere from 5 lb to 15 lb IMHO)

I have one channel in pen - haven't checked weight yet - but about 2 lbs (will see if little lady next door wants another fish dinner - bad enough to clean it :)

Day before yesterday - she wanted a fish dinner so she helped me clean two small ones (1 lb or more)

BTW: most baby channel on magic bait - and keeper size on shad (using 3 to 5 little shad per hook)

Footnote: Dang yellow bass are everwhere - eating all my shad that I've been feeding (chum) all year - wish the crappie would join the yellow bass.

BTW: A lot of people around here are still calling the yellow bass - white bass when the color is not 'very yellow' - but I keep a picture (worth a thousand words) in my boat house to make sure. So far I've NOT got a single white bass out of this lake (dang yellow bass are over populated IMHO and people should start eating them to clean them out (but not me :)
