I was the only person fishing and I had two small catfish on a stringer right infront of me And he asked, " are those your fish"? I sayed ya And he just gave me a funny look and walked on. I cleaned the fish later fried them up and they tasted horrible. To find out later that small catfish dont taste good at times of year around here in ohio. I now catch and release all catfish now unless they come out of private lakes and ponds.
