Never had it, never seen it in the store either. I presume because it’s the most highly prized of the salmonids and harvest is very restrictive.

I stuffed this one into the overhead compartment of an airplane, no kiddin. Along with one of his other salmon friends and several halibut

How about a chunk Tilapia? Haha. Off an one knocker.

Always love catching channel cats while fishing for bluegill to use as catfish bait.

Forays into the carp underground

Another big Cat (at least big for me) today while bass fishing.   Flathead 40 inches long, 32 pounds.  This rascal took a while to land.  It didn't roll and twist like most Cats do.  It also didn't hug the bottom.  It just took off and darted around like a nuclear power submarine.  I thought I had a HUGE spotted bass for a while.   I was fishing an offshore hump.  It's 10' deep or so on top of the hump.  One end has a rounded point going down the 25' or so.  The other end has the channel dredged to feed cooling water for the Nuke plant.   I was following/watching a school of shad on the point end of the hump.  The top of the school was 2 feet or so under the surface.  The bottom of the "ball" was ~8 feet deep.   Fish started attacking the shad from below.  I threw a DT6 into the mix and came up with the Cat.   That's my 10th Cat over 10 pounds this year, all while Bass fishing.   I caught a 53 pound Flathead last year.   I wonder if I'll catch a bunch of big bass if I start targeting Catfish.   

 

On a side note.  I've got a phone holder on my console I use for most pictures.  I can't get a big fish like this Cat in a picture with it there.  I've got another phone holder.  I've got to position is somewhere else so I can get pictures holding BIG fish.

I ended up being a guide last Saturday for some friends. A couple of nice ones from the Atlantic on a great fishing day.

Spent the weekend at 7700 feet in northwest Colorado. Hooked into some brook trouts and remembered how much better I am at bass fishing versus fly fishing...couldnt land any of them. Also caught Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a wood tick that was latched on way too long, but we have Doxycycline for that ?

@thediscochef dang. I’m on a round of doxycycline from a tick bite myself. Make sure you cover up when on the water - the stuff makes you super prone to sunburns.

I'm night fishing right now so this works pretty well for me. I've taken doxy before, as a malaria preventative. Good stuff but full of fun and interesting side effects. I also just tested positive for Covid, first time dealing with that one. I don't feel good lol 

[Jigfishn10]

Those pics bring back a lot of memories @thediscochef. I learned how to fish in the Breckinridge (about 10,000' above sea level) area back in the late '90's. Miss it very much!

 

Sorry about the Covid thing, that sux.

[Jigfishn10]

Had one of those days where it felt like a bite on every cast.

Hey @T-Billy the Beckman muskie net got used this morning a couple times.  Boated a 38 inch tiger muskie and several smaller northern pike including a 33.5 incher.

Atta boy!!! Those tigers are beautiful fish. Congrats!!!

Nice esox @gimruis

[Woody B]

I got catfished again today.   It was quite a bit smaller than the 32 pound Flathead last week.  I didn't weigh or measure it.   Small enough to boat flip though.   FWIW I pretty much never weigh a fish I boat flip.   If it's too heavy my rod might find out and decide to break.

Brother-in-law got this today when he was reeling in a small bass he got on a jig and luckily hooked the beast as it got the bass.
