Still cleaning catfish

I still catch plenty of little channel catfish for my next door neighbor - so I stay busy cleaning catfish.

Bream (bait) fishing has been slow some days - but managed to bait trotline one time this week.

The guy that bream fishes with me - for his limb lines - added more lines (up to 34 limb lines now) - and he sometimes gives me channel catfish since he only wants BIG Flathead catfish.

For example, as I type this I have a 5 lb 14oz Channel being put to sleep (bleeding out) - so I can put it in the freezer for my brothers visit in the fall (I have 36 packages in freezer - each 1 lb or slightly above (try to keep each package at 1 to 1.1 lb - meal size for my brother :)

Oh well got to get busy putting a couple more pounds in the freezer :)
