Yesterday, I decided to slip out a while so dropped the boat
in the water went directly from Lake Graham through the canal
to Lake Edelman to the power plant outlet, didn't see much
action, but the water was really boiling coming out of the
south gate, made a few casts with nothing then finally got
the slab up against the gate upright, there is a concret slab
that runs about 8 ft out in front of the upright on top of
the gates. I like to get the slabnshad right in front of the
gate upright. I will say that I always look where I am
casting, but don't always cast where I'm looking, if the wind
is blowing a little, and it is a very long cast to the gate
upright. Anyway as I drug the ole slabnshad off the concrete
slab into the current, I got hit so I set back hard, wow what
a fight, knew I had a nice fish, but when I got it to the boat
I found out it was two 2nd year Hybrids 14 1/2 and 15 inches.
after a couple more tries I got another cast where I wanted it
drug it off the slab, bang another Hybrid this time 16 inches
Then another in the same size range and finally a 12 inch
White. I kept it up finally got another cast where I wanted
it, gave it a little pull, then felt the bump, Set back hard
again and the fight was on, I couldn't turn this fish, I knew
this was the largest Hybrid I had ever had on, what a battle
this had to be at least a new lake record. Finally I got this
fish up to the boat and got a look at it, A 5 lb buffalo foul
hooked in the tail. a little dissapointed but a lot of fun
anyway. by then it was about suppertime, so I gave up and
came in, not a big stringer but I had a good time. Keep
on Fishin'

Same thing happened to Luv to Fish and Sassy Angler. They both caught 25lb Buffalos. Sassy Angler foul hooked hers in the tail, at the very end. I couldn't beleive she got it in the boat!

Sounds like you had a pretty nice day!

I've caught lots of carp, both buffalo and koi, while slabbing on RH. The biggest went somewhere around 40 lbs, with lots being in the 30 lb range. We also pull up the occasional flathead cat and have boated a few in the 25 to 30 lb range. I know that Varner and Matt caught carp on shanghai's on RH on a trip last year. They said it was a blast and that the carp hit those swimbaits hard. A lot of people don't like carp, but I really do enjoy catching those big ones, when they find my lure

Caught these on Cedar Creek fishing for whites on structure down 12 to 15 ft. The cat weighed 40lb and the buffalo about 20 lb.

Dennis, I bet you were really dissapointed that they were not
whites, Ha. We need something like this once in a while, keeps
up the interest.

You know it's not a white immediately, and you're right, it adds variety and excitement to the fishing experience. Once we got into a nest of big blue cats - 3 of us had one on at same time, and we ended up with about 10 of them going from 6 to 20 lb.

That has gotta be a bunch of fun
