My aunt and uncle used to run trot lines for a living on Livingston. I remember them talking about cats locking up like this, aunt Blacky used to call it "kissing cats". Thanks for posting the pic.

That is a great pic. Gotta love the big aggressive blues!

Too cool man! Thanks for sharing the pics. I definitely would have tripped out on that.

YOU FIRST!! I'll take the pictures and 'hold the rope for ya'. LOL.
Now I know why some of the cats that I catch, have 'red lips'. Always wondered why the lower lip was roughed up and red.
Never know what you are gonna see on the water!! Ken

My buddy sent me a picture of the same thing last year. I think he was on hubbard or tawok. Cool pic

This will be a fish story that I will be telling my grandkids...

No doubt.....Would have loved to have seen that in person, mabe one day.

Wow, very neat story, just goes to show that we can always learn something on the water everyday.

Pappa. That's funny. I saw the exact same thing a couple weeks ago. I thought " heck , we can eat that". Tried to net them and boom they were off. This was near the spillway while sand bassin. My chick has the pics on her phone. I recon they were each forty pounds.

Got this pic on ray Hubbard a couple of years ago. Both were dead'r than a door nail though. I'm assuming the little guy went head to head with the bigger cat but he ended up being more than the big guy could chew.

That is totally crazy! Never seen anything close to this one!

Very cool and glad you didn't try the netting before taking the pics, LOL!
