Heya Rod, the "dog guy" - very glad to have you along. Appreciate your running back up river to pass the news - poor WH going off getting lost... guess we coulda maintained a tighter "formation" at times. But that was part of the fun of having multiple boats, multiple options...
That's a nice ride you got there, and I LOVE your dogs' enthusiasm. Just so you know - I didn't let your dog hop in my boat for his own safety. Too many damned hooks and clutter around (someday, hope to bring my own pooch along). BUT - I also wasn't gonna let him get stuck in that muck - my electric didn't have enough oomf to turn me against the current, so was about to fire up the gas and go save him. Was hoping he'd find his way out, and follow us over to you on the shore.
Mighty good swimmer, but I think he got kinda tired at that point. Just felt bad, and didn't want you to think I'd just leave him there . . .
I love dogs, and always welcome a wagging tail.
So - first time catching catfish, or first time on the river?
Don't know that he originated it, but "Cookie Cutter" is one of Tubedudes references to smaller size good eatin catfish. For me - probably falls in the 3#s and under, but over a footlong. Smaller than that, and they've still got some growing pains. At some point they loose their spots, and IMHO - that's about when the graduate from the "cookie" age. I just love how they croak!
Would be glad to meet up again. I really think a floatilla to the dam would be a great adventure. Buddy described it to me once as the "grand canyon of Cache Valley" - and I'm a believer.
Sure am glad they finally put the docks in. But I'd like to know who the bozo is who thinks they can make a fire on a plastic dock! Good grief!!!
