Clear Lake Kitties

I didn't catch them from my kayak, I live in the Lakeport Lagoons and caught them off of my backyard dock.  I've been using really stinky shrimp as bait.

First one was 17.2 Lbs.  Second was 18.4 Lbs.  I haven't been able to break the 20 Lb. barrier but it is just a matter of time.  I catch many 4-6 Lb. kitties but don't take pictures of them.

"Backyard dock" - wish I had one of those... 

Cool cats!   

How does the saying go?  "If you build it ........"  Aaaaah wishful thinking.

That thing is so obese!  looks like its about to pop its own skin.

Sounds like a launching point for a kitty derby. 

When is the party?

I'll bring the homebrew!

I don't think you would like to eat anything out of Clear Lake.

I ate a bunch of redears out of there last year.

I wouldn't eat them every day, but every so often couldn't hurt.

Spring Crappie are ok, a kitty no way.

Why not catfish?

They eat shad just like the crappie (and lots of other stuff).

Still would be fun to sip homebrew on your dock while catching them....

I use to eat small catfish from the delta but Clear Lake fish taste like mud to me.  I got a nice little 3 pounder tonight, that might be ok.

Bring the beer, we can set on the dock and catch anything that happens by 

Big Kitties are always a fun time!they just stay on the bottom and PULL.Thanks for the shots!

The fish taste like the lake smells in the summer.    .    I suppose 35 years ago, when it was clear, maybe creatures taste different. 

Hey LL! Thats a funny pic of the young ones' diversity of changing looks
