Since the whitebass/hybrid fishing on Hubbard as been horrible we decided to try a little catfishing Bryon from TNT Lures was in town so we had planned a fishing trip but did not know what we were going to do. So � EL Nitro, Champion Gene , Bryon and myself gave it a try� we started out at 8:30 am and found bait real easy.. matter a fact it was so easy I was worried that the day would go down hill from there � if you know what I mean we had way more bait then needed in 10 minutes.. all threadfin no gizzard� we loaded the boat back up on the trailer and decided to launch some ware closer to the area we was going to fish� picked or first spot and within 30 minutes had the first fish on � it was pretty good action the whole morning� we finally got a big fish and Byron took the rod� man those big ones can fight� we also notice we were getting bit more on the side of the boat that was shallower.. so we moved about 50 feet closer, don�t know if it made a difference but 10 minutes later Gene had his big one on� all we heard was a huge splash we moved when that action slowed and found a spot very similar to the one we started� was there 10 minutes and fish on� we caught another 5 or 6 there� we fished from 9-2pm and we kept 21 fish that we weighed at Nitro�s house for a total of 153 lbs� Nitro�s scales on the boat didn�t work� so we do not know exactly how much the big fish weighed that we caught but they were released� also released 2 that we estimated to be about 10lbs� caught more that were in the 15-20 inch range that we also let go because we had a cooler full already� we are guessing with the ones we kept that was 153lbs and the other we released maybe had 225-250lbs� but not positive.. still a great day maybe some of you cat experts can give a guess at the 2 big fish � all fish caught in 1-3 ft water with double action circle hooks on cut shad� main lake was 48 degrees� we found water 50 degrees and it warmed up to 56 degrees before we left� S winds at 6-12 mph� it was a very nice day � and sorry for the photo shop�but you know

Very nice and nice keeping your spots secret. I cant believe you guys went all the way to paris just to take pictures though.

Great day, congrats! I didn't know Ray Hubbard was so scenic! I might have to go fish there just for the scenery!

Very nice catch. May I ask were did you catch the bait.


Reggie

wow paris has some nicee catfish i might need to go

We caught bait up in the marinas. Varner and I have an agreement that I catch the bait and he cleans the fish. Yesterday, I came out way ahead It was good fishing with Varner, TNT and Champion Fish. We always seem to have a great time!! Now I need to go power wash the catfish slime off of my boat and get ready for round 2!!!

Nice CATch!

Very nice day on the HUB! Nice to see that there r nice bluecats all over the world like that! I bet that is a good spot just off the points of those pyramids! lol

The photoshops look unreal (stunning!) But are those kitties real??

Congrats on the photoshopped CATch!! Great job fellous!!

I like the Coors light pic with Gene in it
Thats enough fish for the May 15th fish fries??

Nice day, hit that spot with all the mountains. I been missing out, only trout fishing, better take my catfish stuff next time.

Are those my Coronas?
Great catch.

NICE!!!

Those and the catfish are not photoshoped

nice job. looks like alot of fun

Just think I almost did not go catfishing. JV and Nitro put us on some great fish and that big one was unbelievable.

I thought I could hear hear Superduck in the background hollering from the mountain to pass him another one, but you guys know I do not hear very well.

JV, Nitro, and Bryon, I had a great time. I am reconsidering this catfishing thing, it was a blast!
