Hahahaha
I do agree that catfish out of a pond are not very good. All they do is sit on the bottom and eat mud, that doesn't make for good tastin fish.
On a side note I was watching a fishing show this weekend. It was a bunch of kids running trot lines and jug lines. They caught some really nice channel cats and maybe a blue or two. After they were done they were talking about how they didn't catch any big fish, but that was ok because the small ones taste better anyway. It bugs the crap out of me that people actually believe this. Fish aren't like cows or chickens where the older they get the tougher the meat gets. I don't know were people got this idea but I will take a big yella over a buch of channels any day of the week.

There have been some big bass pulled out. There was a tournament last year and several were over 8 lbs.

No, there were actual boats with sponsorships and all. It was hosted by a pro who lives in Irving. I'll try to find a link to the website.

Maybe. Who knows what's all in there. I saw a dang otter swim by one morning. Are there even otters in Texas? There are. Caddo Lake is home to: 71 species of fish, making Caddo the state's most diverse lake in aquatic life. More than 50 mammals, including muskrat, mink, river otter, and panther or cougar. 31 amphibian species and 53 reptile species, including 17 types of turtles and 30 types of snake. 189 species of trees and shrubs; 44 species in the ecosystem are listed as threatened or endangered. 261 species of birds, including rare wood storks, wintering bald eagles, common loons, six types of herons and three types of egrets. The lake is a winter stopover for half of the neotropical migrant songbirds known to exist in North America. This is where DuckButter was coined as my nickname. |

I guess those 8 pounders jumped out of the boat before they could weigh them in.
