Lexington, Kentucky

Skunk buster. This is the second bullhead I’ve caught, and this one bit on a golden Joe’s Flies spinner. I never expected a catfish to hit on that, but I’ve never caught a bullhead under usual circumstances.

No luck on bass today, but I caught these two cats about 15 minutes apart on the Magic Bait. They put up a good fight, and the second one beat my PB by a pound.

One on the day. This one hit within seconds of my first cast with this rig.

One dink. Water levels were much lower and algae accumulation was higher. Weedless rig may have worked better, but it beat the skunk.

First fish of the season. Got a 4 piece after getting skunked at a different location. Less than 10 minutes between catching the first and fourth.
