Hot 18 miles but fun

[tx river rat]

Glenn and I put in on the Brazos ,about 18 miles above the highway seven bridge.
Started of casting for bass but no takers,after a few miles we stopped put out the rods and started catching a few catfish .
It was hot Glen was fussing about it ,I told him to just lay down in the river the nut he is off he tromps into the water,rod with him off course.

and the lucky thing he is here he is about a minute later

We caught 7 keeper cats,two twisters that were to small.

Caught several gar all longnose.

WE saw a couple things that were a little out of the ordinary ,Grey herons are normaly solitary
birds on the river we saw about thirty bunched up on a sand bar,I have never seen that before,hogs were everywhere ,I guess they were having to come to water it was so hot,saw the most around 1 oclock
And as we were coming in I had about a four foot fish gar swimming beside the boat that was cold black,not a light spot on him.( I know thats three but its been a long day)
All the little mods I did to the boat worked well.

not stylish enuff...... [chuckle] I once tore up a river shoe. Duct tape dont look too stylish, but it works.

I have spent many a fine hour in the Big Muddy doin' the same az Gerald....cept fer the fishin' part. I hear it callin' me....louder ever dang day. Miz Bear dont like it when I shove off by myownself. It makes it hard when yer shuttle bunny iz on the wrong page. [sigh]
