and yes pug differant fish i have been gettin into alot this year that are pretty much right at 28 inches and a few that have been larger but alot of nice wide head fat channels this year so far for this guy probably more in the first part of this season then about the last 3 combined
Here are a few of the nicer ones we caught on p4 late last week. The bite really turned off Thursday and Friday, but we still managed to land a few. In our group we had two 10 lb channels one 8 lb and a bunch in the 3-4 lb range.
I did find some but they don’t really compare in size to river fish. Kept some of the 2-3#. Not used to the luxury of sorting. Turned out to be a great afternoon. Reeled in 19. About 15 more than usual. 
Oh and I caught the shad in a castnet. .. . . Had numerous doubles on. Not usual but kept me busy.
30″ X 15″ Came of the tip of a wing dam. Smack the daylights out of a cut bait. It sure felt good to stick a nice cat 
Still looks like it has it breeding helmet on. Sure is knobby.

Bret has other hats. 
Here’s a few decent ones:
wow! those are nice! 
I’ve never seen channels that big.
Looken like the Red River Spillway.
Nice fish.
That first one has a total Rollie Fingers thing going on. Nice fish!
Here is a dark one that didn’t have any eyes. The skin just grew over them.
Nice on Ryan!
Looks like the hand is doing well!
pool 5a and 6
Minnesota River tanker. Caught on a big live sucker while targeting flatheads. All we caught Thursday night was channels.
Ummm isn’t that a blue? 
Nothing wrong with a night of channel cats! 
Wow, nice fish DFresh! How big was it?
12lbs on the scale Pug. Was a fun one to catch for sure!
Here’s a nice pair I landed this weekend. We were fishing the downstream end of a rock bar and they hit in about 2-3 fow on whole frozen suckers rigged on a 2 hook harness with a small orange float. The Minnesota river down here by Mankato is running from 2-4 feet in most spots, so I’ve put the boat away for the winter after sucking a munch of gunk into the water intake last time we were out. There’s a few more pools I need to check out before it cools off. There ight be a few more lurking.
Nice ones Goat!
What a fluctuation on the MN this year huh?
PS Love the hat!

You weren’t kidding about going out today!
What’s the green dip?
…and…I’m soooo jealous!!
Watching vids on Ido is very encouraging it drives a person to stand on a bank with a pole out in the cold 
the green sauce is wasabi with mayo 
btw BK no stink bait used
