  • Channel Catfish

    I went out to my Dad's pond yesterday. He was feeding the catfish when I arrived. The pic doesn't do them justice. These fish are 10+ lbs to nearly 20 lbs., maybe some are even bigger. The second pic is of a fish trap he uses to catch turtles that we pulled out of the water and found a 10 lb cat in it. The other debris in the trap are turtle bones. Just thought I'd share.

            How big is the pond? Do you and your family catch any to eat or give away?

                It's about 1/2 acre, 9 feet deep. Oh ya, I've eaten a lot of fish out of there. There are some pretty big sunfish too, and one of his neighbors caught a 5 lb large mouth bass a few weeks ago. My dad feeds them daily, so catching is a little tough sometimes.
