    Best fish of the day, but Will's catfish was the biggest. This guy was quite unique! He was really only 12.25" long but his tail had a long sliver that ...more extended off of it to make him barely under the 13"mark! Hard to see in the pics, but it's there! WEIRD! Probably one transplanted from Chris P. 😂😂😂😂😂 We caught a bunch of smaller ones too, like in lower right picture. CPR on all today.

    Went out on Lake Mac-NoFish, as we call it, with my best friend Will today. We didn't kill it, but we didn't get skunked either. Few Bass, a couple gills ...more on a minnow bait that was as big as them, one catfish and some crappie. Got very hot so we were off the water by 1.
