Could we set the same thing up at Backwaters in Somerset?

I caught the lake record channel cat last night out of my kayak "catyakking". I didn't want to go to the trouble of hauling a fish that I was going to release overland for a mile, so she's still swimmin' in there boys!

**was only about 3.5 to 4 lbs, but the record is open right now :)

You just admitted to fishing your first tournament!!!!!!!!


In tournaments, people compete for a prize by catching the most weight. Here is a prize, of recognition and pride, and the tournament is a one fish tournament. AND you who has repeatedly reported your disdane for tournaments have now joined the the frey. LMAO

You can now come back to the next get together. Just don't admit to anyone next time who you post as...LOL

Just joking with you miss gurl... don't get mad.

Will the next get together be a catfishing tournament?

[Danny]

Actually the next get together will be just like all the others. Everyone is welcome to a nice cook out and some great fellowship. The cooking and the get together will probably start around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Before that, whatever the attendees wish to do is up to them. Perhaps you can organize a catfish tournament. I think that would be fun, and offer something new for some of the catfishing folks here.

GREAT idea. Since the lake is kind of big for your kyak, I'd be willing to possibly share the boat for the catfish tournament.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, and even more of the regular posters as well as many of the newer ones.

It looks like Smallies are out, though, according to the report.

I'll direct this post to the KDFWR and the fellow who records the records and maybe he can get some info about what the lake was actually stocked with.

Hey Billy ..... if you do -- ask him where they got the Blacknose Crappie that are in there. And if they (KDFWR) even know that they are in there ... LOL!! I KNOW ... because I've caught several of them.
The KDFWR site states exactly what species & how many were originally stocked. I just think that not all of the resident fish, of the upper reaches of Cedar Creek & its tributaries, were killed out completely. That would be the simplest explanation for the "other" species being there.

Fishergurl ... I still think JD was just covering all possible Bass species, that could be there, and not necessarily "implying" that they were in there or were stocked in there. The Bullhead Catfish is one that I wasn't aware of, since I haven't seen or caught one from there ... just add it to the other "resident" population species, that seems to have defied the KDFWR efforts to eradicate them .. LOL!! .... cp

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jul-08-06 AT 08:13AM (EST)[/font][p]He very well could be covering all bass that might be in there, but he just needs to state that instead of saying that it's only stocked fish. I was just trying to clear up the contradiction in the statement, and I should have asked the question differently.

I've caught one of those black nose crappie as well. I had heard of them, but never seen them so I wasn't sure if that's what I caught or it was just a black crappie with a strange stripe.

That's basically what they are ... a Black Crappie with a genetic marker, that produces a black stripe from the throat- up between the eyes - to the dorsal fin. They occur naturally, but not in any great numbers, in a section of the White River in Arkansas. They're primary use was by DNR biologists, to stock small lakes & ponds, so they could identify them from the resident population (when doing studies). They are not a hybrid, as some people think, just a Black Crappie with a recessive coloration gene. They've been stocked in, or escaped to, many large bodies of water -- like KY Lake, Dale Hollow, Watts Bar. I've caught them at Watts Bar, up to 1.5lbs ... and they're a handful on light tackle ... LOL!!

Was down on Cedar Creek yesterday (Sat) ... and caught some then. Strangest thing, though ... Cedar Creek Crappie were "in the jumps". We actually caught quite a few Crappie, on the surface, busting Shad ... out in the middle of the lake !! Now, there's something you don't see every day ...... LOL!! .... cp

Pretty cool about the jumps. I've caught a few in Cedar Creek on small cranks fished topwater style. They're definitely aggressive there....too bad they're all about 5-6 inches long.
