I guess!! This one was 8lbs and 8oz. Another one was a bit over 4lbs. The rest were thrown back. It was hard to keep the bass off your bait until you could get to the bottom where the catfish were. These are just little ones back home but I'll take them here in Colorado.

There is a little public pond by my house. Everyone there fishes for the bass. I'll take the catfish.

I've been catching a few at Bonny. We're doing a job out there. But nothing healthy like that. Great job.. Did he put up a fight?

Pretty good fight. I broke one off that appeared to be bigger. I got him right to the edge and he went down again and then it was over. I was pissed.

I had no idea there were catfish in Colorado's waters. [NoEvil]

I'd expect to find cats in nearly every decent-sized farm pond and backwater areas of most lakes. Good eatin'! That looks like a channel cat (forked tail), is it?

Sweet! If you need a fishing buddy I would like to learn about this lake. I am responsible and do not keep everything I catch.

Fished Cherry Creek this weekend and walleyes are hitting there. Alot of small ones.

I haven't caught a catfish in CO for a few years now, that is by far the biggest one I have seen caught in CO! Nice work!

Must be one of those Africanized Catfish that are making their way up from Texas.

If I told you guys exactly where it is at, I would have to kill you...[ROFL1]

It is a channel cat. That's all I have caught there besides large mouth bass and blue gill.
