A nice day on the Rappahannock river in Northern Virginia started out a bit slow as the tide moved downriver. As the tide started to slack just a bit, I hooked into this 18 LB lunker. Its belly is fat because it must have been on a feeding frenzy. There were 4 whole fish 6-8 inches long in this bad boy's gut! Well, I'm sorry old catfish friend, but it's my turn to eat now

Those tidal fish are almost force fed shad.

That sure makes them grow quick and grow big!

grilled or fried ?

FRIED!!!

Cut into little pieces and fried in corn meal / crushed saltine crackers.

Its a texture thing for me now that I had radiation ....so this is the way they were cooked tonite.

Have your hunny try this with any white flakey fish if you dont have cats in the freezer.......
