Quick little Sunday afternoon trip

[fishshooter]

We made it out for a few hours Sunday afternoon and managed to pick up a mess of small channel cats. It had rained a bit and was cloudy when we got to the camp, but cleared up nicely once we were out on the water. I was pissed to find that a gator had gotten a hold of one of the crawfish baskets we have been keeping baited. He totally destroyed it. Here are a few pics I thought I'd share.

This guy watched us the whole time we fished this spot:

I'm pretty lucky, the wife is happier in the outdoors than most chicks are shopping:

The wife is not as lucky:

I don't know if someone could paint a picture as pretty as when the sun starts to settle behind the cypress and tupelo:

By the time the sun was gone, we made it back to camp with a couple dozen little channel cats, and one bream. I love these little catfish. I fillet the larger ones for the wife, but I like the smaller ones fried whole:

Back at the camp, we grilled hotdogs and had left over 4th of July potato salad, and then headed for home. Great summer Sunday afternoon, if you ask me.

Looks like you have yourself fed quite well. And that sun setting pic looks awesome. Looks like a great day :thumbup:

I like that sunset picture.

You are so lucky to have a wife who enjoys the outdoors so much!

Holy crap dude, your wife is GORGEOUS. Wow, that made my night. To know that a WS&S bro has a wife that good looking just makes me warm inside.

Looks like a great time. :thumbup: Of course, you know how often the words "leftover 4th of July potato salad" shows up in coroners' reports?

I would guess more than a couple, probably in a handful of E.R. charts as well. Looking back, it doesn't sound as appetizing as when I typed it. :barf:

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I definitely married out of my league. Hope she never figures it out.




I guess I should start adding some knife/gear pics to my posts. This outing I used a Leatherman Charge exclusively; from rigging the rods to removing hooks to skinning the cats, it handled all the day's tasks, including opening a couple Sam Adam's Summer Brews. :thumbup: My buddy gave me a couple Snapper fillets that they pulled from the Gulf over the weekend. I'll probably grill or blacken those tonight or tommorrow night and fry these rascals the next night.
