I live near Clearlake, CA and I've been getting into fishing alot more lately. Got my first one of the year yesterday. Over 7.5lbs! It was great. Anyone else been catching Bass? Can't wait till it warms up more.

Crappie fishing should be picking up soon once we get some warm weather. Took about an hour to snag this little guy at the docks in lakeport.

Where is " down here " ? I've read that they're really good eating. Probably different species than our Brown Bullhead too. I watched a tv show from maybe Louisianna ? Where they used their bare hands to get these honking big old catfish to latch on.

We catch ours on 10/0 stainless set hooks using live bream for bait. You have to reach in their mouths and grab them through the gills to pull them in the boat. Their little teeth will cut your forearms up pretty good. This is a yellow cat aka opalousas. 89#s And yeah I'm originally from Louisiana.

This gator bit onto one of those 10/0 set hooks. You'll catch one every once in a while down there. He was 8-9 feet and the hook held him on. We often would have hooks straightened out. What ever can straighten one of those is a MONSTER.

I eat perch, trout, salmon, tilapia, pangasius..... just about any kind fish with some exceptions. Fried catfish, bass, striper.... if it swims, there's a good chance I'll eat it.

Yep me too. I havent tried eel yet but im going to soon. I think i might hang a few in the smokehouse too -- they look delicious.
Only things i tried so far i dont like are squid and octopus.
