New cat hunter

I took a lady friend out for cats last night and we had a blast I was concerned with the night bite being the water came up fast and looked like chocolate milk
First stop was a spot that holds gills and lucky for us they had the feed bag on. This girl made catching bait fun. We did alot of laughing, who would of thought them little critters could be so much fun
With 10 lively gills and dark coming we headed to my favorite cat spot. About 15 minutes after lights out we had one running. With the other lines cleared and ready for battle, swiiiing and a miss Man how could that be, good fast run, oh well baited up and got every thing back out
This is about the time I looked to the front of the boat and noticed Naomi levitating over her seat as the mosquito’s tried to carry her off. I had to apologize again as I explained the mosquito dope was by the sun screen, at home on the work bench
We soon forgot about the biting critters as another rod started screaming out line. As before, we got things ready to do battle. I handed the rod to Naomi and told her to make the sweep. She had contact There was a good fight going on at first then the kitty started to come to the boat. Naomi thought it was almost over I told her to hold on because for some reason cats don’t like me or my boat, no sooner said and things heated up boat side. A little line in alot more out
When we did get the fish netted and Naomi laid eyes on what she caught you couldn’t wipe the smile off her face with a cow pie. Bugs, what bugs 18lbs on my zebco deliar. I think it is time for a new digital scale.
It was our only kitty of the night. We did hit one other spot for a 1/2hr getting one hit. We could see lightning getting closer so we called it a night.
I do believe I have another one hooked on cats

Check out that smile

Nice fish Bret and Naomi Yep, it looks like she had a great time. I bet that was a nice battle landing that fish

That’s something she won’t likely forget….until her next bigger one!

I sure envy you Wisconsin folk….. bait is no problem. Good job on the flathead. I think she’ll be begging you to take her again.

Great Job! Nice fish!

Thanks guys. It is her biggest fish to date. It is always a blast to put someone on a nice fish.
She is already wanting to go again Mile High. That just means, mission accomplished I sure hope to get her on a bigger Flat JetCat. She had such a blast with this one, imagine the 30+
Being able to use gills for bait is a plus, no doubt about it. I wouldn’t mind trying bull heads though. Just don’t know where to get em

Good luck fishing people

Great fish! Better pictures! I bet those are going to work with her on Monday! Good Job Bret!

PS we all hate you in MN for using sunfish.

Thanks Brian,
Can’t say how much fun it is to put some one on a cat, especially when I spend most night lights out time alone. Going to work on Monday, They are already there

Brian,

PS: When Naomi reads this Monday and sees people like this stuff and, has seen her holding her personal best (I will work on that )…..that will make her day again
