Catfishing with tree & pr0 this weekend [pictures inside]
 

So i step off the plane from vegas (mind you i slept a total of 4 hours in 4 days) & get a call from tree as I'm walking to my parking deck. He's up at his pimp ass lake house, boats in the water & ready to fish.

So i drive to my crib in d.c., take the clothes out of my bag, throw them into the washer, grab a shower... take a 20 minute nap.

Now im back in the car, 3 hour trip... I show up, tree's got a fever of 100, & I'm damn near hallucinating from lack of sleep, but we both rock it down to his dock & get our rods in the water. Start a bonfire, crack open some Heineken's, his girlfriend even roasted us some ballparks/sandwich's as we sit waiting for our dinner, like the hardcore fishing fanatics we are. :pimp

Anyways heres the end result!

Total end catch was 3 fish total around 9-10lbs (before they got knifed into pan-size filet's). You'll notice the wooden board with a catfish head on the left bottom picture. If you've ever had a real catfish filet (most people haven't its all farm raised these days), theres only one way to properly do it....you nail their head to a board, slice the skin behind the gills, then peel off their skin in one fluid motion with a pair of pliers. :thumbsup

Looks like fun.


:)

Good shit bro!

I was raised in the catfish capital of the world!

I'm not a big fan of big catfish filets though. I love what we call "fingerlings" that are caught in traps, deep fried still on the bone. Their about 7-10" long after they are headed, cleaned and skinned.

nice work ....what were you guys using for bait?

I find chicken livers work great for catfish

Good work bro...

I grew up pulling butter cats and channel cats out of the lakes in Florida. You're getting my fishing jones up...

The best bait is raw bacon. It's cheap, it won't come off and you can use it over and over.

Great pics man! I like the filet trick...i'm going to have to try that :thumbsup

You should try some catfish noodling!

Sorry I didnt make it to xbiz to hang with ya man. If I dont make it to FL then you will have to haul it up to Nash like we talked about before.

:thumbsup

Great stuff pr0! How'd it taste compared to the sushi we had in Vegas?

duuuude & that kobe beef, holy fuck!

the amazing thing is...this lake was so clean & perfect, you could have eaten it as sushi

mmmm, fishy

I love you man, but i doubt you can hang with pr0. I mean really really hang.

thats awesome, ive only had farm raised here. the biggest filets we can get are about 1/3 the size of those.

Now THAT'S a motha fucking fishing trip.

Nice one man :thumbsup

I hate it when those annoying catfish eat my bait.

looks delicious!

Yummies...

lol You need to get to know me better then. :upsidedow

nice pics...!

hahaha yeah i don't know sticky....... i tried to hang with this fucking guy and he wore me out. first night turned into the first 2 days with no sleep, a massive hangover, and a flooded hotel room. i barely made it through the week and im still recovering 3 days later. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

much respect! :pimp

As long as Pro is picking up the bail money Im down like Charlie Brown. :winkwink:

Shit... the next time I am on the East coast I will have to call you guys up.

For you it will be like any other weekend... For me it will be vacation...

anytime brother....u know how to get in touch

looks like fun bro.. how did it taste?

i'm getting hungry ..............

I actually passed out before we could finish preparing it. But tree made sandwich's with it today back in Pittsburgh & supposedly it was some rocking catfish.

:thumbsup

I guess so. Come up to Joisey and you can crash by my pad for a few days.

Hah, even that pales in comparison to stories about me and/or my gf. :2 cents:

pr0 knows wassup.

theres maybe 10 people in this business who can go as hard as us

but then again i dunno if its even something to brag about anymore :1orglaugh

we're gettin old man! :pimp

I might just do that man after I get everything Ive been working on up and rolling. Ill deserve a few trips after that phew. :)

Damn! That looks like a good fishing trip bud.

T last we have something in Europe that's bigger than you have in the US. :)

These are catfish!

What's catfish taste like? I don't think I've ever had it.

I find shrimp works great too, I see guys pulling some big channel cats out of the red river not far from my place using whole shrimps as bait.

No one eats them here though.
