Yesterday we went out to Caney...mostly to play on the lake...you know, ski, swim, the usual. What the boys wound up doing was 'noodling'. Basically, you wade out in the water near a boat launch, look (feel around with your feet) for a hole or washed out spot, reach in either bare handed or with a stick and a treble hook and see what you can grab...or what grabs you! Here is what they grabbed:
Corey, Pat and Dan grabbed these catfish from under our local boat launches. One weighed 32.5 lbs and the other one was 35 lbs. They were cleaned and fried for supper and were DELICIOUS!!!
It was a fun way to spend the afternoon and not a bad catch for our first effort. We would have released any other ones we caught because we just can't eat all that in a reasonable period of time and Pat will kill us if he had to clean any more fish!
Today is our 30th anniversary. I dug this pic out of the frame to post.
Happy Anniversary Babe! It's been a great ride...looking forward to the next 30 years!
