On Sunday Keith caught fish # 75,000 caught on my boat since I started keeping records mid year 2008.
I have an excel spreadsheet of every trip since then.
That is also when I started using CJ’s punch bait exclusively. I still use CJ’s daily.

Today was a fun trip. I had Keith fishing with his wife Christy, his daughter Christy (Went by Brenda today since we had two Christy’s), and son-in-law Will.

The challenge was on today. You can see that “Team Girls” came dressed and prepared for a fishing title. “Team Boys” said they were not threatened 😉

The girls put first fish in their cooler.
Yep, the challenge required two separate coolers 😁🎣


Lots of throwbacks were caught. The lead for most fish changed back and forth through the morning. One member of “Team Girls “ had to limp along at the finish line, as the other recovered from her previous night’s birthday celebration 😵

During the morning Keith landed keeper #20 for the day. Just so happened that that fish was also fish # 75,000 caught on my boat since I started keeping records, mid 2008. For his catch, since all cats have been caught on CJ’s, Keith got a pail of CJ’s punch bait. 🎉🎣👌

At the cleaning table the Boys had 16 cats to the Girls 14 cats. However, the title was challenged by the girls that said They thought I put a couple extra in the Boys cooler. So, no clear title meant everyone went home a winner 🏆🎣

Only 5,769 catfish a year for the last 13 years. A very lofty goal to any and all catfish guides.
Congratulations Weldon Kirk and Fishtales guide service.

Almost 6000 fish a year. That's consistently producing for your clients. Wow!

I would be happy to catch that number in a life time.. Great job

Nice work... a lot of happy people!
