well this is how it began today was letting my chickens out and one found a nice lookn copperhead. so i use my rake as a snake hook and hook it then put it in the bucket i drive down about .5 miles from the house where there is a dry creek to let it go. i look on one side that has a small water puddle and i saw a large school of catfish fingerlings in it :) talk about getting exited so i let the snake go on the other side of the road go home grab my net and a ice chest and head back. once i got there i slop into the muddy hole and the fish saw me and berry them selfs in the mud to hide lol smart little guys.well in a hour i caught about 30-50catfish fingerlings and there rest are hiding in the muddy water i hope to get the rest of them after work : ). sorry i dont have pics time was short because i was at work and had to head back but now my pond is stocked with catfish woot
-
i went down to look again to see how many i had gottn and there were still about 50 of them left :) ;D
-
What are you going to do with Fingerling Cats? You got a Pond to raise them in?
-
yep i fixd my pond last year and it has no game fish in it yet so now it will
-
that's cool, Sterling. :)
-
thanx josh
-
That is cool, I'm wish I could stumble onto a bunch to put in the tank in my aquaponic system.

Kudos for not axing that copperhead, skyarrow! Those texas ones are pretty. Hope you get some big ol' cats someday but....are you sure they ain't adults of a small species like madtoms? Not everything might be bigger in Texas! ;)
Don't know what cats you have down there, but couldn't resist ;D

Sounds like a bunch of future fish fries in the making!

sure that they are Mud Cats?? Look a lot like baby Channel Cats to me.......
-
its hard to tell they look like both lol. they are black on top with a silvery side
-
How bad would it stink to go back to get more baby catfish and then get bit by the copperhead you let loose there? :)
-
wow, nice! i need to look for something like that! raise a few in the backyard! would be fun
-
That's a pretty cool photo, never seen that before. Good luck with that, Sterling.

Cool! love me some catfish! grew up eating them outta the rivers in Pittsburgh. (Probably explains a lot). They look like channels to me too... I think I see a forked tail?
