I've fished my entire life and never caught one of these, and never actually seen one in person. I know many consider it a trash fish but I'm just happy that I can mark it off my list. I'll tell you what...those suckers are strong as hell, fight to the death and are not hard to clean, contrary to popular opinion.
Mouth of Tchefuncte River in Madisonville around 5pm...Kayak, popping cork 1' under, market shrimp, Kahle hook, PowerPro.
27" long, 12" girth, about 6-7lbs.

Hard to hook when you're catching them regularly.
I imagine she rolled on you a bit, huh?

Those frickers destroy spinner baits. I've had plenty bent to hell because of them.

I have only caught one and I had no idea what it was it first, fought like hell though.

I've still never caught one

Caught some monsters on Lake Verret side before Coon Asses started selling the roe. Haven't caught many since.

Choupic patties are good as all hell. Don't know what y'all are missing.

I might be related to someone who has caught a 17#
I saw it numerous times on the wall yesterday

One of the small thing in life I really enjoy is picking them off of yo yo's with a .22.
Posted on 9/23/13 at 10:12 pm to TigerPimpNationTrank
I've fished that area for a dozen years and have never even seen one of those things

Been catching those sucka's all my life. That's some good eatin fish. Key is, to keep the alive up until you clean them. Then once clean, batter and stank that grease!

Last one I caught was with a fiberglass cane pole, (yes I know, but we had a ton of them out on a dock catching white perch and catfish) and it's the only thing I ever saw snap one of those in two.
