These people claim they have "The Cat Yacht".

http://www.thevicat.com/

But I called them up and asked them how many gallons of sure shot they had on board and how many rod holders they had....they responded that didn't have any rod holders and they asked me what sure shot was...I just laughed with a fake rich people laugh and hung up.

At least Google now has Tom's Cat Yacht before the fake cat yacht.

See the benefit we have on the cat yacht is they will be attracted to pure champions. They ( The blue cats ) will smell the pure hurtin that boat has put on many'a'blue in the past.

And it helps that we can get to the best spots the fastest due to my shaved aerodynamic head. thumb

I was naturally made to be a professional rookie stir

Just a little info for ya, the brown boat is gonna be out there, and although one of the names have changed to protect the innocent, it is going to look like a battleship when it hits the water, I would like to go ahead and declare victory, but I am going to share half the boat with my Nephew, and although he is my kinfolks, I would like to see him win, too, just not as much as me. I am going to have to Back-Boat him because we will be where the big one lives tomorrow night!!!

Other than that I will go ahead and tell you Happy-Birthday Zachery, hope you can catch you a big ole Carp!!!

Just Kidding,

It will be nice to see some old friends and meet some of you guys that I have never met,

Good Luck to Ya!!!

I reckon if they don't work individually, you can just tie 'em together in a knot. Maybe that'll fool the fish...Or graft 'em together, like reattaching a finger...

I bet the whole reason you wanted to do this is because you caught a 50 pounder Tuesday, and he's still on ice.

No swimming for Zach....his britches will melt! barf


And for the record.

Nobody wants to see that.


I sure hope that doesnt happen, I will cut 2 holes in a 5 gallon bucket and stick my legs through there. Should be good to go after that. fish

popcorn

improvise, adapt and overcome. That's a winning attitude thumb

Westlake is pretty easy to find. It's only a couple miles off 35 North.

Re: friday lewisville big fish pot details - 08/12/11 11:24 AM

It's funny to see you guys all talking trash to each other... particularly when I know this thing is a lock. I got a ringer partner. All y'alls ugly arses will scare the fish way while my partner's pretty face will entice them right up to the boat.
Mrs. Armyfisher is the closest competition but she'll be so beat down listen to all the bullsnot on that boat that she won't even be able to keep up with my partner.

Here she is hard at work, MR™Jr.:

Anybody know which lewisville parks are open for late entry? We're probably gonna lay up on a bank at some point. My little 'un doesn't do that good on the boat all night long. We might just bring the pond hopper or a kayak or two and run bait out to choice spots.

She said she thought it might have been about 4 pounds but I explained to her that all escaped fish were at least 50lbsers.

Me and emma are home. Plenty of box fish.
She had one get off again that she fought for a good long time. She got it up close and some how let it get off again. From what I could see id say it was a 30#.
Then right after that I had a bigg un get on, peeling line and making that reel sing. And then... gone. Get it back up and see a curly q at the end of the leader. bang

Zack, congradulations on your fish. I wish the weather would have cooperated better. I wanted to meet you and a couple of the others at the end but the rain ran me off. Tom, thanks for organizing this and helping me load the boat. 20+ mph wind straight into the ramp is always fun. To all the other guys that I did meet it was a pleasure and we should do it again. The red and white run about boated 15 and we must have lost another 10. But our largest was about 6lbs. Fish weren't biting aggresively and we just could not find a big one. Next time.

Re: friday lewisville big fish pot details - 08/14/11 05:55 PM

Hey guys,

Thanks for the congrats on the win. I want to acknowledge my sincere apologies to Dblaow and Mudholesandbigcats.

Their PB was 7lbs and 5lbs and when that rod went down I should have turned it over to them. I am truly sorry guys from the bottom of my heart.

It was my birthday and my first tourney ever. I was happy to win but in the end, I wanted those fella's to get a new PB that night.

If I could go back, I would have given that rod to one of the fella's mentioned.

Thanks Tom for a heck of a night, and I was happy to meet everyone that I got to shake hands with!

-Zach

I properly named that fish "Ham-pton" to keep the hog names going smile Mudcats, can you get me those pics from your SLR camera?

Zach you should have been there when I reached back to get the last of the shad out if the livewell and that durn snake was wrapped around the fill pipe!! But we did find out that those yellow team catfish grippers will hold a snake too!! At least long enough to cut it's head off!!

Just a word about the Team-Catfish grips, Tom & I broke 3 pair of the orange ones they sell at Cabellas last winter, but the Yellow ones that Tom has are still good, there is no comparison in the quality of the two, Team Catfish has the best grips, hands down!!!

Good Luck to Ya!!!

Team Catfish does provide solid quality, and I know Jeff takes care in making sure that his products provide just that. I am loving his new hooks and the fish grips. I myself treat the fish with care, and those allow you to weigh and handle the fish properly without causing further damage after the catch.

Keeping the fish healthy makes sure that they will allow for another angler to enjoy catching them later.

I dont sell or market for Team catfish, but facts are facts. Jeff's products are solid.

Just my 2cents

Gary, it did wake me up pretty fast! Have you ever tried to get a snake out of a small lidded livewell? Pretty tight quarters with a 3 ft snake, but I wasn't gonna leave it in in there, I could just see the chaos in the middle of the lake if that thing would have got out!!

Thanks, it was my first tourney, first win and my birthday. Got to meet some great guys and you cant beat that for a birthday present.

But it was pure luck, I didnt even plan to get a bite how I had my poles setup. I was there to meet everyone and didnt think I would even touch a fishing pole.

But even with all that, I am still not happy. Slap me, punch me, tell me to shut up... But I told Mudcat and Dblaow I was sorry for not handing the rod over to them for their new pb. And I still feel bad about it at this very second! bang I dont care about a win, I care about having fun more than anything!

If I fish with them again soon, it's my mission in life to help them in anyway I can to get a new pb. thumb

Thats what it is all about. I am sure they forgive you and are looking forward to the next time they go with you. It took me 8 monthes to go from a 7# pb to a 35# pb with a lot of trips without catching a single fish inbetween. I glad it was an awsome birthday for you and i am sure everyone else feels the same way

Zach caught the fish, but you should have heard them on the phone after they got it in the boat. I couldn't tell who was more excited. Wish I could have caught that one on video!!!

Tom years ago I was green trash fishing and pulled up in a tiny cove that was covered almost completly by willow trees. As I was trolling up in there I noticed some snakes dropping out of the trees so I decided I needed to get out of there. When I turned around there were 2 of them in the bottom of my brand new 1991 Skeeter. It was a good thing I didnt have a gun because I would have been making an insurance claim LMAO. I wore out a $100 dollar All Star rod(lot of money back in those days) beating the tar out of those snakes til they left the boat. I think I screamed like a lil girl once or twice also LOL.

I didn't do my screaming but the first time I reached up in there and the grips slipped off I might have said something a little off color!!!
