HarvDog Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 The wife and I took a rode trip to Ohio to go fishing with my folks this past Saturday. We ended up catching a total of 11 channel cats: My wife caught her first fish ever and I ended up catching 8 of them including the biggest which was about 5 pounds : We had a great time!!!

Tominator Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Fishing Trip with the folks Where'd you get them? We always tossed those back. Catfish from Ohio waters can be kind of toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farm raised cats are OK to eat, but anything outside of that, I'd think twice about eating if you're into eating fish, which I am not.
