Hi Kelly,
no, I haven't caught it, but I have bunch of good excuses;-) Right now I am more concerned with the small, bullhead catfish and Tilapia. The Tilapia have good meat and provide good forage during the year. I would just like them to provide good forage for me at the end of the year. Being vegetarians, they are very hard to catch. The bullhead cats just took over my pond and they steal the bait before my channel cats can get to it. The upside to that is, that they bite even on a slow day and that keeps the kids happy. My friend's son came on his first fishing trip last week and he caught two, 1' bullheads. I caught about an 8" one later. When we were sitting by the fire later on, he leaned to me and in a confidential and understanding voice expleined to me: "You know, Ed, the big ones, they looove ME" His dad and I could barely keep from laughing, but I think we got a little guy hooked on fishing that day.
