Cool pics and some nice fish. I had to laugh when I saw the boy sleeping. :)

Looks like you wore the kid out!! Cats are great fun for kids to haul in (parents too ;D ). Nice fish, what do you bag your livers with? It looks like gauze in the picture. ???

Awesome pic wny angler how late did you guy's stay out? At what age did you start taking your boy fishing? I got a little girl 17 months and i can hardly wait!!!!

I have taken her out quite a few times down to the river with her mom to watch her as i netted suckers for bait and she loved it ;D ;D ;D Fish was one of her first words ;D and she has had her own fishing rod since she was six months one of those little barbie ones you know to get the feel of holding a rod.The mousquitos are too bad to take her out now >:(

We were thinking about going down into the canyon on the colorado this weekend to catch some channels, but we decided to float it up 100 miles for some big browns and bows instead.

i used egg sac tying mesh to make my liver sacs,they stay on the hook better that way,you can cast a mile without losing your bait and its hard for the fish to steal your bait ,first time i used liver that way -worked greatAwesome pic wny angler how late did you guy's stay out?

we fished from 10pm till around 3am -would have stayed later but it started raining and we forgot our rain gear
i started taking my son fishing at 4 yrs - i,d hook the fish and let him real them in.
by the time he was 6 he could cast ,hook,and fight his own fish,

Thanks, the stuff I have for egg sacs came in pre cut squares, I don't think it is big enough for livers. I'll have to look for some on a roll like that.

havn't done any catfishing in years. recently started going out for cats again-forgot how much fun it was to catch them big nasty hard fighting fish.
had a couple of hours to spare this morning so we went out for a little mid week catfishing
only landed one big one and a bunch of 2-4lber,s
can't wait to get out again when i have a little more time to fish

still lookin for the big one-heard of some 25 lber,s coming out of the creek this year
-
wny angler,
Man those are some nice cats for the size of that body of water! Do the come in from a lake or larger river system or do they inhabit that stream all summer?
-
Great photos! I started my son when he was just a little guy, and now 25 years later, he out-fishes me every time!
I noticed that there seems to be 2 colors of cats, a yellow and a dark gray - are they 2 different species, like channel cats and blues? Here in Manitoba we have massive channel cats, small brown bullheads, and tiny stone cats and mad toms, but only the channels get to sizes up to 42" and 30+ lbs. in the Red River. (It's strictly catch and release over 24", and the big guys are allowed to get even bigger). I've never caught a really large one tho', but there's always this weekend!

actualy the creeks bigger than it looks, i was fishing the narrow deeper (9 ft) side channel .The fish come in from lake erie in the spring to spawn ,a fair number of fish stay for the summer but most head back out to the lake where there caught in 50 + fow.
here's another a pic of the creek ,its the largest tributary on the new york section of lake erie

must be nice to have cats up there in the 30lb range,most of ours average 2 to 15 lbs with a few 16to 24 lbers the largest caught so far in this area was only a 32 lber
as for the color of the cats, there all channel cats--seems the smaller ones are a bit lighter with some spots, the bigger fish tend to be very dark in color but their all still channel cats

went out for one last catfish outing last sunday,the water levels were dropping and the spawning run was just about over. we ended up with only 3 nice size cats and some small 16- 20 inchers-lost a monster cat that just about spooled me before he broke off. looks like i'll have to wait till next year for that 30 lb'er
