    saturday apr.8 i was at redwing below the “y” and landed a large catfish. there was a guy in a red lund that took pics. i didn’t get a name so i could get a copy. If anyone hears or knows who that guy was i would appreciate any info. the fish bottomed out a 50# scale and there was a lot of room to go. thanks all.

    This one today bottomed out my digital scale, caught be an angler with the last name of Windsor. This beast hit the scale at 47.5 pounds on my digital.
    Sorry I cut your head off, but everything was happening so fast in order to get this girl back into the water! Great job on 8 pound test! And by the way, this fish was caught in the mouth! We netted it from my boat. This thing BARELY fit into my new net!

    only 20 minutes thereabouts. what is time anyway when you are in one of those large fish moments. seems like forever but lost in only a second.

    Chris,
    Well since Brian hasn’t chimed in yet, “way to slime up the new boat”

    congrats to both on the nice kitty catches
