my wifes 11 lberAugust 27, 2007 at 1:32 pm #603503Day time Channel Cat catch while drifting. Did not weigh it but it was definitely in the double digits.
August 28, 2007 at 1:34 am #603699nice cat, looks really good. must have given you a hard time brining it in.
August 30, 2007 at 1:15 am #604363Always kinda liked this pic. I think it was 30″… I had one this spring, a personal best at 17 pounds 6 ounces!

Agreed. Cats probably make the best head on shots of all gamefish. Bass are ok, if you get a shot of their mouth open as you pull them from the water.
Better yet, when they are being stuffed with a freshly planted Tomato plant
August 30, 2007 at 2:41 pm #604485You better be referring to the bass. I know that my garden wouldn’t be where it is today without those 4-5 pounders I buried nurturing them.

Nice fish buddy MikeOctober 7, 2007 at 6:36 am #614174I should get on board posting a few pictures here. All are personal bests from the last 3 weeks. All caught while sturgeon fishing.
My wife and her PB…she tells me she only wants to go fishing for the ‘big’ fish!
The last pict is the same fish, I thought it was funny with such a concerned look on her face because she didn’t want to hold it…that’s where the gloves come in.Mine was over 33″, thats all I know…It was hard to measure because she was flapping her tail too much. Another right at 33″, and my buddies 2nd flat ever.
October 10, 2007 at 8:19 pm #615362This is not my biggest cat this year though it is the weirdest cat this year. It weighed 10.2 lbs and fought like there was no tomorrow. I have the patholigist for the MN DNR looking into it.
October 10, 2007 at 8:58 pm #615377I would have worn gloves too. That is one rough looking cat. I’ve seen a couple oddballs in my day but none that extreme!
October 10, 2007 at 9:07 pm #615381Strange. Hope you dont catch something from it!!
October 11, 2007 at 2:39 am #615493I’ve seen those nodes in the mouth. Someone on here caught one up at the early spring spot. That one looked normal otherwise though, not like this thing. Maybe you should dump it on 3Ms doorstep with a “nice” note.
October 11, 2007 at 5:35 am #615522Dave, I think the last one would make a good avatar.
October 11, 2007 at 11:29 am #615537Yeah, Briank caught one like that a couple years back. It was nasty!
October 11, 2007 at 11:47 am #615544I also caught one with those nodes all over its head a few weeks ago on the Miss, in one of the early spring spots. Pretty disgusting.

Great idea, I’ll see what I can do.
October 11, 2007 at 11:53 am #615546If I remember correctly, BK contacted the DNR and got a humorous response from them. I can’t remember them being too worried about it, though.

It sounds like this happens more frequent than not.
Maybe they should be concerned.
This one was caught on the upper St. Croix in what I thought cleaner water.October 12, 2007 at 1:36 am #615789My guess is it has AIDS!
Probably got rear-ended by a “fairy” boat.
October 12, 2007 at 10:44 am #615844Mine had one in each corner of the mouth…but the lower two…popped.
Here’s the edited version on a dnr response…hope you get something better…

Hello,
I was asked to respond to your inquiry.Uff da, that’s a sad-looking fish. What to do with is a personal decision. I might have put it down. The growths look like tumors of some sort, which isn’t out of the ordinary.

October 12, 2007 at 12:39 pm #615865If they were tumors, they wouldn’t have popped, would they? Maybe they are giant pimples?
