So Cookie read me the story, while I made an English Muffin. Ya, I can read just fine on my own, but proper attention is required when applying the grape jelly.
I can firmly state the following...
1- I will never get cookie in a float tube at Willard bay now
2- maybe not even a boat
3- and I have to find the homosapien version of channel cat #5. Do you have a web site I can order it from?
I can LESS firmly, also state the following...
1- what was a very big cat we saw, has now grown to an ax handle between the beady eyes in her mind
2- she is surfing Cabelas online looking at saltwater rigs
3- we do not have a trip to either ocean currently planned
Great read Pat. Made our morning.
As for an actual size estimate...in the dark, in the water, I am sure our perception is in question, but it was well past the 30" mark. What struck me most was the head size as it breached for a moment. The best cat, I have caught in Utah was around 14 lbs. This fellow was every bit of that and I think well past it. Reread the part about our perception in the dark and take that with a healthy grain of discernment
But, I bet I am back out there when the weather clears, likely packing rod and reels made for 200lb halibut with whole herring for bait...got to go she says she found what she needs on Cabelas.com...
