Wife wanted a catfish dinner , only caught one but lucky it was about 3 lbs so it will make dinner. Plus caught my only second Sacramento Pikeminnow . Guess its a trash fish but put up a good fight so put him back to catch and fight again. Good day.

Nice looking cat, Ranger! How'd you end up cooking it? This is the first time I've heard of a Sacramento Pikeminnow. Had to look it up. Apparently they're an invasive species related to carp and eat just about everything in their path!

Catfish having tonight, corn meal, flour , and Cajun Fish Fry. I never heard of them until last year when I caught my first one. Good fighters. I was done fishing and just bringing my lines in when it hit my bait hard. They have a big wide mouth and look like they can eat anything.

They are a neat looking fish, guess they can get up to 35 inches and 15 lbs, this one was just a little over 3 lbs

What have you caught them on? I bet you are not fishing the Merced River now. McClure is almost full and still a lot of snow up there.
