Roger and I have been hitting the Jordan river hard lately. We have had several trips in hopes of catching a few decent channel cats for another fish fry. We typically head out around 7 p.m. and stay till around midnight.
We've caught a lot of catfish, but it takes patience to get though all the mud cats taking your bait to get a few Channel cats to the net. We've landed several keepers with the two biggest ones pictured below. Catfishin' is a great way to get to know your neighbors. I've really enjoyed hanging out and getting to know Roger better. He's taught me a lot about this river, and it's been great catching fish with him. These catfish will never win any beauty prizes, but they sure are good to eat!

I love the river this time of year. |

Roger looking on as he awaits the next catfish to bite. |

Typical 12 inch mud cat. These guys are hard to keep off your line. |

Tied my previous for biggest of the year. |
Nice looking Cats, Rick. Good eating awaits Roger and you. Night fishing takes a different approach, but, sure can be rewarding.

Nice cats, brother! That spot looks fantastic! All night catfishing is one of the best parts of summer!
