Not for Sunil's eyes!I caught about an 18-inch channel cat this evening. It looked like it had swallowed a tennis ball. This is what I found inside when I fileted it.

Never seen that. Neat pic.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I've noticed the frogs at my place laying really still on the bottom in the shallows. I bet that channel was taking advantage of the cooling metabolisms.

I suspect my SMB in my RES/SMB pond chowed down on frogs earlier in the season. At one time I had what looked like thousands of bullfrog tadpoles. Then they turned to frogs and when I went around the pond frogs were jumping in in droves. Then they thinned. Now I only see a few.
I suspect they were just the right size for my largest SMB to chow down on.

I'm heading to Lincoln, NE late next week, and may bring them as a gift if I can get them through security. If not, I'll save them as a delicacy for Sunil and Rainman next time we get to go fishing together again! I miss my crazy Pond Boss friends!

Ken call me before you head into Lincoln, let's connect. I'll pm you.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
