If you can only read its mind Bruce. "He lifts me up again..weeeeee..Hey hey, take my good side now."

Bob has a pond that's loaded with big catfish.  This was one of several that I caught that afternoon.  The only hand fishing that I did was lifting him out of the bucket over, and over, and over, and over....

Cool picture Bruce and a nice cat.  Your clothes look dry so I guess you really did use a pole, and we won't see you on an episode of hillbilly hand fishin.

I love big channels in ponds! I have been given the assignment to relocate about a dozen big cats that are currently residing in a local pond, most of which are 30 plus inches long.  Tough job...but somebodys' gotta' do it!

It's hidden behind the wording on the left side.  I guess the articles had to go somewhere. LOL.  And if you look really close you can see the Lusk Lodge II, which is Bob Lusk's beautiful cabin.  I was given the privilege of watching Bob's puppies for two days while he was away.

Bruce I've made ton's of mistakes Like I told Tony I wish I'd of had this magazine before I stocked my pond. I dare to say that it probably didn't exist 23 years ago though. Now I'm in the position to try and straighten of my past mistakes.
