This ones for Antelmo

The only person who reads my blog. ;-)

The only things I caught Saturday morning were two catfish. One dropped off the line as i tried to get the camera out, but this guy looked like he had been attacked by a racoon or something. he has claw marks down his body. They're some tough sonsabitches.



But even though I didn't catch any bass I did see this cool bit of nature. The bass must have spawned earlier in the morning before I got there, and try as they might the four or five bass could not fend off the swarm of sunnies that came in to feast on fresh caviar. Helping the sunnies were some pretty big shiners and the two catfish, which were the only things biting anything I threw in the water. This was cool to watch.

More fishing at Byram Lake

Went fishing with Kuwata and Steve the other night after work. Caught a pretty big largemouth but Steve has the pics. I'll put them up when i get them. It had rained earlier in the day and you can see the rainbow off in the distance. FYI, this was the first time I out-fished Master Steve. ;-)



Then I went out this morning by myself, at 5:30am!, and caught these delicious beauties (after getting lost for 30 minutes). But I threw them back so they could make babies (plus it's off season).



This guy actually had a crawfish in his throat. Sometimes they are quite the gluttonous monsters. That's the antenna sticking up out it's throat after he half swallowed it back down.

This is the second guy I caught. Both were pretty big, and you can see that I'm holding it behind my head so he's even bigger than it looks in the last pic.
