Title: First catfish on sammamish
Post by: saylean on June 30, 2009, 01:56:01 PM: I have been fishing sammamish for like 4 years now, finally caught my first cat fish. I happen to see two of them in the shallows and went for it. However, upon further watching the other cat, it seemed very agressive and was only hanging around a small clump of weeds. I was going to deep fry the catch, but I let it loose. I am willing to bet they had a clutch of eggs in there.

still...nice to catch a cat!
