Cold 5 lb channel catfish

Actually it's me that is cold. I only baited 5 yoyo's and went to check them about 9PM - and only two baits were missing - and I almost froze - cause wind is 20mph+ and temperature about 40 - so I decided that I would not check yoyo's again until AM - but at 10:50PM I said - well I guess I'll look and just my luck - I saw one yoyo was going against that strong wind.

This time I put on two layers of clothes - lucky I did - cause it took 20 minutes in the gale force winds and temperature must be low thirty's

Well now I'm cold and wide awake - cause I got a 5 lb channel catfish (yep I took time to weight it) - nice size catfish for magic bait - usually expect 1-2 lb - sometimes 4 lb - but don't get a lot of 4+ (well I said same thing last year when I got an 8 lb channel catfish on magic bait - but this is new year - and biggest on magic bait so far this year. I was still surprised it was 5 lb - since it was yoyo on my fishing pier (1.5 ft water) and magic bait (3 cubes / chicken liver / chicken blood)

Well I typed this to unwind and warm up - time for bed (will be tough cleaning the catfish in the wind and cold temperatures tomorrow (more like February weather - instead of April :(
