Texas Catfish

There is a pond here that has some pretty good sized catfish in it. I've taken some decent photos of them but this computer will not allow me to resize the photos into posting range.

This one is a bit over 2 feet long and weighs in at about 12 lbs. It was caught and released last week but I wasnt there to get the photo.

are those slices of Wonder bread for bait?

The arrow here shows the fin on the catfish. It's swimming into the weeds to scoop up a bait cracker that is floating on the surface.

The catfish likes.....

saltine crackers
chocolate covered graham crackers (from Walmart )
cheap azz dried soup in a cup (forget the name but it's popular)

No. He's not THAT big. Scary thought though.

Might just as well not even take photos until I get my own f**king laptop.

JFCA. What a third world POS this is. No effing memory..no processor speed...not even the simplest of bundled programs functional.

:rattat: :rattat: :rattat:

Over and out from Texas.

Why don't you email them to somebody to resize and return to you?:confused:

Great idea Bruce. :blush:

I'm not seeing the fish.


Where's da fish?

It's busy eating a Big Mac that I tossed into the lake. I let him use my phone the other day. We're getting to be good friends. We've already had the "no one drives my car" talk, just to set some boundries here.

Seriously, That first photo shows it better than the second. It's frustrating that there are several good sized shots that are looking more like a fish but are stuck in my camera.

Like Bruce says though....any volunteers?

Yes. :cool:

What's the union rate on file mods? :D

JK. Thanks Bruce. I'll be sending you some soon.

pm me for my email address. the link is to my old one.

I have a batch resizer.

I made a catfish dinner for my wife's whole family once.... my father-in-law (who is now dead) told them that he cooked it while I was not in the room.

I just ordered a polarized lens cover... I can't wait... heeerrrreee fissshhhyyyy!

Catfish update:

Our friendship seems to have quickly turned and now he is demanding very specific foods for photo ops.

This is a very common phase in early relationships. He wants you to know that you need him more than he needs you.

Should we move this thread to the relationship section?

Yes. He was very condiscending in our brief interaction as well. It seems as if he's interviewing me in some way. :tinfoil:

The Catfish is the Earth 2.0 version of the Mice.

Slang is once again being persecuted by God's creatures. Is there a DSM IV entry for this?

Update from the weekend;

Someone caught one of the catfish and this seems to have humbled the lot of them.

It was about 2'-2'3". The policy is catch and release.

His attitude has changed entirely since we fitted him with a red jump suit and tied his feelers.

How does he like picking trash?

He surely doesnt care for it but only speaks Spanish so the details of the complaints are lost.

Did he say that he was framed, or did he just lay there gasping?
