LOL...yea I don't know ,I guess I'm just gettin old. I weighed him twice cause I thought I didn't set the scales right...Kinda like Swayze in Roadhouse...I thought you'd be bigger LOL.Thanks man. Chuck
Good fish buddy I'm glad you found one......Was the bait hard to get as usual?
A mere 51 pounder eh? Huge doggone fish...no matter when you caught it.

Mark, I've all but given up on shad and skips. I just go to my little hole and pick up 6 or 7 nice size buffalo.I know where they are and I don't spent 2 hours trying to get bait plus...you know how I like my big bait LOL.

Thanks Jim, it really has gotten hard to catch these big fish lately. I've had to pull all my old tricks out just to get the couple I've caught the last 2 months. I didn't catch this one till after 8 0'clock and was flat beat from the sun and all day activities.Guess that's why I thought he weighed more LOL. Chuck

Yep they will eat them sucka's to....:)
That is a beast, skinny or not. I've heard that Asian Carp are excellent as cut bait. They are a bloody mess when you cut them up.

Them uh...activities will wear you out alright. But I gotta say man, you got a heck of a bag of tricks. Been a lot of pics of you holding up some absolute giants. If I tried to weigh one of them on my scales there'd springs popping out of it. One of these days when you're taking tourists like ole Mark along I'd like to join y'all.
nice catch chuck :-) I have took a break from fishing been playing music joined a band but seeing this! makes me want to go fishing :-) lol..

Mark and I have both used the Asians for bait with little sucsess. I know they will eat them, eventually thats all they will have to eat.Well unless the comercial fishermen take all of the catfish first:( Many in the Miss. sware by them. Chuck
