Fisherman Max
Yeowser!
Flyover Friend Max Wendell of Woodbine sent me a photo of a big ol’ fish he caught. Forty-four pounds of catfish!
Oh - I should add Max’s colorful description of the event: this is my first big cat of 2008. he was 44 lbs did not get a measurement. caught him on rod and reel by myself. fought him for 25 min’s when landing him had get on my belly and stick my hand in his mouth. he damaged my thumb boggered my glasses and weted my watch. after pictures he was released in father petellas lake in down town herington and is waiting for a 7 to 10 yr old kid to throw his worm in there. there is lots more to the story but i will discribe the shakeing and heart skiping later. the old fish caller, Max

Does that mean a fish fry at the cafe tomorrow? Reminds me of some big ones my dad and his friends caught. What did he use for bait?
Good one, Max! You have bragging rights.
Very nice. I’ve not caught one that big…yet.
Our fishing trip went about as expected today. I caught one tiny bass my wife caught one a little bigger. Spent most of the time keeping the kids out of the lake and fixing their poles. Lots of tangles and snags today. Only one broken pole! The kids didn’t catch anything so that was a bummer. They get bored fast when the fish don’t bite.
Way too windy. We tried to have our picnic outside at the picnic table, couldn’t keep the stuff from blowing away so we had the picnic in the car with the doors closed and the windows up, lol. We had fun!
