interesting fish story

Postby Archious » Fri Jun 17, 2005 2:38 pm

so last night i went catfishing with my drummer and my bassist at a small lake i had never visited before. i was baffled by the presence of three strange objects floating about 45ft from the shore in three seperate and eaqually distant locations on the lake. i kept my mouth shut and just threw my line, but it wasnt too long before my curiosity got the best of me.
"what in the hell is that thing?"
my drummer smiled, "you'll see"
at the stroke of midnite the mysterious object made an aweful grinding sound, and the water came alive. there was so much activity that the lake looked like it was boiling. catfish, bassfish, crape, ducks, and snakes, all congregated to machine. i looked at my drummer in confusion
"it just dumped 5 pounds of dogfood into the water"
it all made sense. thats why the fishing was so good. and as it turns out, those machines go off every 4 hours. so go talk to the game warden and see about getting these feeders put on the water in your favorite fishing spot, and cast to catch the big one, because he it in fact down there.

cast of the night--
4 1/2 lb catfish -- Archoius

++ tired of losing your bait every time you get a nibble? if your using liver, wrap in in sewing thread. it sounds silly but it will go a long was in making that tub of livers last all week.

I bet that woulda been funny to see someone who has never seen that before! I haven't never seen it either!

You should try and find "rooster livers". I know that it may sound funny but, an old timer from Alabama turned me on to them. I thought he was crazy at first! But, he knew what he was talking about! Rooster livers are as tough as chicken gizzards and they stay on the hook very well!

My Granddaddy used to let the livers sit out in the hot sun for 8 or 10 hours before going catfishing. Man, that was gross!! They would be almost green and stink to high heaven. They stayed on the hook pretty good for him. But phew what a smell!! :shock: People fishing down wind of him would literally move because of the smell. I fish with shad when I catfish. They stink pretty bad and are really oily. But they smell a heck of a lot better than sun dried chicken livers and they do just as good of a job catching fish.

instead of wraping them with thread or having to let them ripen up in the sun, get your wifes old pantyhose and a bread tie(zip ties work great too). you put the liver on and wrap it in a peice of the hose and it stays on all night(until something is caught). if you dont have a wife or girlfriend just go buy some, they are cheap, cheap.

Doc, I can guarentee you that a wife or a girlfriend is not very cheap. I've had both and niether of them are cheap. However, I'd gladly pay for a wife or girlfriend than have to pay for an EX WIFE. I've heard that they are like having a second mortgage. Although I don't have one I know friends who do and they pay out the nose.

Should you remove the hair from the pantyhose or leave it in there for attractant. You know how they hate to shave their legs sometimes!?! :twisted:

Do you have a color preference? And should they be control top? Do knee highs work as well? Sorry Doc, this one is going to hurt........In a pinch, have you ever had to take off the pair that you were wearing and use them on the livers? :shock:

Could you imagine the look on the face of the cashier when you go through the checkout with chicken livers and panty hose? "Man, what kinda freak are you?", would be running through her mind!

Oh I can see it now, Doc puts his hands on his girls ankles, runs his hand up her legs. Slowly and gently pulls her panty hose down. "Doc, what are you doing?" she says with a grin. Then Doc jumps up and looks at her, "Honey, me and the guys are going fishing!" Then he runs out that door with tha panty hose! :shock: :lol:

Sorry Doc, ya owe me one! :twisted:

I probably shoulnt tell yall this as it will lead to the certain extinction of catfish butttt.... :twisted: If you go to good will and buy some old pantyhose you cut a chunk about 4-5 inches square. Place a little chunk of liver, generic fish flavor cat food or FUNK cheese or a blend in the center and tie the corners diagonal together on both directions to fully close it and tied tighhty enough to make a ball. Simply pass you hook through the knots and it WILL NOT COME OFF and is only used up when it has washed out the flavor! If that happens... Ain't no cats there. You can make these up in advance and carry them frozen in tupperware or other bowls or baggies and they can be put back in the freezer for later use! PLEASE ONLY CATCH WHAT YOU NEED WITH THIS INFO TO PROTECT THE SPECIES!!!! :D Brent

what was i thinking???? hey hotdog, i hate to say this but i beat you to the punch. scroll up and you will notice it. i dont pre-make mine and insert the hook. i put the livers on the hook and wrap the pantyhose around them. different approaches, same conclusion.

I did notice that after I posted but as we were trotlining 3,000 hooks or so we would all meet up at the house where the bait was and we do some "balling" and make up a full bucket of the cheese and 20 pounds of beef liver so it could be ready as we needed it. brent

Hey Doc! I had this great idea for a new catfish bait! You can get some chicken livers and wrap them in panty hose and they will stay on the hook alot better! It's something new that I just came up with and I am getting a patton on it! You should try it, it really works great! :twisted: :twisted:

Hotdogs, we just funnin' with ya, Bro! :twisted: I think that it is a good idea to make them up before hand and freeze them! That would help contain the smell and keep the mess from getting all in the boat! We have to fight our way to Doc's boat through all the flies! :twisted:

Get tha Rooster livers and you can bypass the stockings all together! :wink:
