Big Bird, his friend Steve and I headed out to the lake yesterday evening. We started the trip out by fishing for bluegills. We had a good time and the bluegills were willing to eat our worms. We ended up catching around 20 bluegills and moved on to hopefully catch bigger and more ugly fish.

The flatheads yet again did not agree with our plans of catching them. We did have one make the mistake of eating one of our previsouly caught bluegills.....



We had a great time even if the flatheads did not want to play. The stripers were splashing the boat and the shad was ready to jump into the boat Nothing beats being out on the water with friends and catching a fish just adds to the experience.

Knew you'd smile with an ol' mud cat in your hands. Congrats on a fine fish. Can't wait to get back out.

Now that is ugly! Congrats again!

I think I saw you and Big Bird with that same picture somewhere else! LOL. Congrats again. I believe that the flatties are nesting right now, so things should pick-up in a few weeks.
