    Heres the scoop.They ran the picture and full story in a boat dealer magazine I get at work.It happened out west.I want to say Colorado, but dont hold me to it.A boat was pulling his rig home over a pass.Traffic stacked up behind him,so he went pull over on a pull over to let the cars go around him.The weight of the boat, plus the loose gravel on the pull over, he couldnt stop and drop over the edge.The trailer got high centered, thats all that saved him from falling 600 feet to the canyon floor.The picture was taken by a highway patrolman on the other side of the canyon.They got a large tow truck to pull the rig back up on the roadway.The amazing part is that the truck and boat were both in driveable condition.The driver however said hed had enough for the day.Probably had to go home and change his shorts.

    Has anyone ever tried fishing a small bullhead side by side a willow cat?Reason Im asking, is I know for fact, that walleyes love small bullheads like popcorn. This is especially true in a couple northern Iowa lakes.The other reason,is I talked to the head Fisheries Biologist for Iowa ,and he said that theyll fish the same.Are they so hard to come by because theyre scarce, or because not many trap them?From the research Ive done, it doesnt sound like an easy fish to seine.What is scooping?I may sound like a dumb hick, but to tell you the truth I cant find very many people south of lansing that have ever heard of fishing willowcats.Im intriqued by this presentation, and would like to add it to my arsenal.Thanks to Herb Im going to try some of our chubbing creeks to see if we can trap some madcats.They do live in the eastern 2/3rds of Iowa creeks, although not in any numbers. Anyone that can shed some more light will be appreciated.Thanks P.J.

    Im also curious on this seemingly upper Miss. oriented pattern.My question is where do they come from?What areas of the country do they come out of? Are they seined have to be trapped or fished?Ive been trying since the weekend to find theyre distribution in the US, but cant find anything out about them.Got to say its got my eyebrow raised.Anyone can provide some info, I might get some sleep tonight.Thanks
