Some trout and a nice cat

[bluebasser86]

Trout season just opened up around here and the warm weather has also got the catfish starting to move around. One of the local lakes stocks tons of rainbows that are a blast to catch since they're usually the most aggressive thing out there in the cold water. Sunday I took my wife out so she could enjoy catching them. She caught several like this one on my secret trout bait

I've been tying some trout jigs to take on a trip to the White River in Arkansas next week and thought this would be a perfect chance to test them out, I was right.


The next day I took my friend and my dad out to the same lake, same spot. We caught trout about as fast as we could fight the last one in and get it unhooked. My friend caught a heck of a nice stocker trout, a big male on my secret trout lure

Finally Chris and I went to try the Kansas River to see if we could get a catfish to bite. We had lots of little bites but Chris caught the only fish. It turned out to be a really healthy channel cat in the 10-12 pound range.
