It’s a type of catfish.
I actually caught a 10lb blue cat with a fly rig. Darn thing hit a bream fly I tied up while fishing for bluegill.

any of yall have the ruger 10/22? i LOVE mine... its great for any thing smaller than deer... lol... and thats pretty cool clearwater...

we have one but haven’t used it much as we have matching mossberg 12ga that we prefer for squirrel

Oh, blue catfish, silly me, when I was young in Iowa we would go catfishing. Once I got a 24 1/2 inch 10.6 lb flathead. My sister caught a couple in the 4-6 lb range and my dad too but they were suprised when my “Snag” gave a jerk.

@muddy75 you hunt pheasant?

I have a feeling that this thread is gonna take off....

I'd really like to go boar hunting, but I'd either need to buy something .45 or get Daryl Dixon good with my crossbow.

for boar hunting, I’ve used .44mag which is alsomy deer hunting rifle, i had to use my 9mm sidearm on my first boar. I tried compound bow, but after 2 broadheads “bounced off” i pulled out the rifle......DH took 1 with compound bow but his favorite is actually AR-15......DS made 2 identical shots on his 2 hogs with open sight Henry Big Boy

@muddy75 you hunt pheasant?

have never hunted pheasant.....only bird hunting i’ve done is dove and turkey

 

[muddy75]

we had plans to go camping/fishing nearly every weekend this year, but with covid shutdowns, we have only been to 1 local lake for a single afternoon.......DH managed to book a long weekend at reelfoot lake for the weekend after memorial day.....we typically go in March for crappie, so I guess it will be bream and cats this year!

Nice, still sounds like fun. You hunt the morning or Eurasian Collered Dove?
