Wear'n out the fish on Nimrod

[NIMROD]

We took Slabandit's dad out with us this morning. Fished almost 2 1/2 hours and kepted 3 limits of Channel Catfish, 3 Bream and a Crappie. We were using Catalpa Worms over baited holes. This was the 6 th trip took out this week, and dressed out total of 180 Catfish! Guess total weight was about 500 lbs for the week.:D Got friends up camping and took out the kids. We caught some on 16.5' Black Widow Poles and no reels that were up to 10 lbs each.

Catalpa worms, I ain't used catalpa worms since I was a kid and Grandad and I would go gatherin' them up. Nice report.

Sounds like fun to me, espically on cane poles! What do you use to "bait" holes??

1 more question... Got a request for some fried catfish from a friend. I've cleaned gills, crappie, perch, w. bass, green carp, walleye and so on.... but have never cleaned a catfish before. Is there any different way to do it? Hoping to get out Friday night, any info would help. Thanks! - AF

Electric filet knife...Filet em just like a crappie...it's just a little harder to get thru the rib bones....
