A new member in the 30 inch cat club… sadly, not me. Got a frantic call from g-son to let me know he had nailed a big cat that looked better than 30 inches. He was fishing with friends from shore when he caught this fish. I had spent the morning in my boat and caught nothing over the standard 24 inchers.
He called me at home to see if I would drive down to Lincoln with his BFT logo, our bump board, and my camera. Done.
Caught him on carp meat and made a successful release at the first spring. They caught several others but nothing as big as this old brute.
Sigh… first Tube Dude humiliates me and now my g-kids are putting the slam on me too. Undaunted, I will continue the hunt. There has to be a big one out there with my name on it.
Congrats to CatCarsen… he’s a full blown cataholic.
Proud BLK[:)]

They also say that the true test of a good teacher is for the student to surpass the teacher.
But, if I were you, I’d be miffed too.
Nice fish.

Hey that’s a nice CAT!
Congrats to the young fella! His grand dad musta been a pretty dang good teacher.
Sending ya a PM.
Very nice, holy cow now you get to try and keep up with the posse’… Guess I better get an update underway… Nice report… thanks J
Congrats to the kid! You are doing better than I. I haven’t been able to get out much this year. Last time I went was last week but in Oakland. Skunked there as well.
That is awesome! I love the big smile on his face, the grandkid I mean. Looks like I could learn a thing or 2 from him[;)]
You found 3 in the 30 inch range last year, I have no doubt you’ll find some this year too.
