FINALLY found some Cats last night. The one in the pic is one my fishing partner caught, first of the night, it's a 21.8lb Bluecat, 36.5X19.5. We had another right up by the Toon in the spotlight, looked MUCH bigger than this one, just as it was about to be netted, it rolled and and got loose. We also caught 5, 5+lb Blues and Channels and a few smaller ones in the 2+ to 3+ lb range. This was the best trip all year. We went out at 7:30 and fished till 3 AM, when they finally quit biting, we plan on doing it again Friday evening. After we measured and weighed her, I tagged and released her. Hopefully I'll meet up with her again when she's over 30!

Well, went out today again, actually late this afternoon. Caught another nice Bluecat, 21.3lbs, plus 5 Blues and Channels 4 to 6 lbs :thumbsup:. I'm just hoping they're starting to start a trend. Lately, the fish we've been catching have been getting bigger. This one was tagged and released. We also had some entertainment, couple of windsurfers showing their stuff in front of us, we were the only audience on the lake 
They were really good though, waves were pretty steep, wind was gusting to 30mph. Prefer these guys to PIC's (Personal Idiot Craft) anyday. Only seen two other boats on the lake, so it was a perfect day.

Jim, The fishing has been OK but nothing very big lately. I had a terrible accident on Thurday. I came home from being out of town for a couple of days and notice my deep freeze door was left open. The smell alone from the shad and cut spoonbill was terrible. Then about 20 pounds of catfish fillets all wasted along with other food. I told the wife I'll fish as long as it takes to fill the freezer again.

Chris, WOW, sorry to hear about your misfortune. That's really terrible, not so much the bait (ceptin' for the smell) but the eating fish is another story. Well, look on the bright side, the wife will know you're out there fishing as much as possible to keep the family larder stocked . Hopin' you have some really good catches.

Gary, thanks. Seems like it's getting better every time we go out. Even though we didn't land them all, that's 5 that were over 20 (3 pretty fair guestimates) in two weeks. Put new hooks on all poles, .

Calvin, yeah, these trips to Topeka are really putting a heavy drain on my time on the lake , but they're really necessary. After this trip, it may be chopper instead of choppers :crying: . The only good thing is, I don't need teeth to drink beer . If you can, let me know a couple of days ahead of time before you plan on coming up, I want to make sure I'll be here. But weekends should pose no problems, as we wouldn't be going anywhere, USUALLY! I'm hoping you're planning on spending the night, you'll be welcome here! Let me know when you're ready.
