With some encouragement from his lovely wife, Nimrod777 (Keith B.) finally had occasion to pay me another visit. He dragged along his buddy, Brian S. from Illinois.
What do you get when you combine two excellent anglers with some cooperative catfish? You get a GREAT day on the water! It was actually the second-best catfishing trip I've had this year. Keith and Brian topped out with cats that weighed in at 28, 22 and 17 pounds. The big ones got turned loose but nearly three dozen more were converted into fillets for the freezer. Keith and Brian left the river with about 200 pounds of catfish. Everything caught on raw chicken breast, BTW (one of my favorite baits).
The next day Keith and Brian hit the water with my guide friend, Capt. Chris Hight. I hear tell they done good... just haven't heard the details yet.
