About a week ago my uncle came to the farm for the first time. He is 88 and loves to fish. He said this was the best fishing of his life. Between him and my cousin, 12 catfish and 2 bass were caught. I had told them to bring a cooler and to take fish home so they cleaned all the fish. We had a fish fry that evening and they took the rest home. In the summer when we ate catfish I didn't enjoy much. Now that we are not feeding and the water is cooler the catfish are delicious.

It took all three of us to hold up the stringer.


This weekend the boys and I spent the night and ate catfish in the evening. We kept two six pound channel cats. I brought the rest home and my wife and I ate catfish tonight.

Neither Scott or I are fishermen. We get our pleasure watching others catch fish. On Thursday my wife and I spent the night and I caught a catfish for dinner that night - it was the first fish I had caught this year.
