elmergoo Report post Posted May 1, 2008 That is Huge... Have any of you ever had any Cat fish that big that was good eating??? We have hated every big cat we have eaten.... and now I won't keep one for eating that is over about 8lbs. Anyone else feel that way?? I hear ya C,N,S. With big Flat-Head what I found that works is take the 4 fillet's( two from the back and two from the bellie's,skinned of course) and fillet them down to about the same thickness as a 2lb channel cat fillet.Or else the steaks are to thick to fry. Some "Golden Dipt" beer batter and lemon wedges and I like Ranch Style beens on the side. Chase it down with a cold beverage......that's what I am talking about.About the fishing on the "Verde" the nephew was up there last weekend and did very well catching a bunch of catfish with cut bluegill, biggest one being a 8lb channel.

My dad brought home 2 thirty pounders from Bartlett one day and it was super good eating. From my experience they are good fresh and not good after being frozen and then thawed. The way we cook em up is take the whole filet and cut into chunks and batter it and fry em up. It's like eating popcorn chicken, but it's fish, and it tasted awesome.

Yeah, see we always found the big fish to be kinda meally and mushy.... I love catfish but just can't even bring myself to try those big fish again.... I'll turn then back to make more little'uns! 1-3 pounds are actually my favorite.... Pan size! fried in that beer batter or just corn meal. Now that is some good eatin' there! I'll have to try the bigguns' again and I'll try it the way you guys mentioned. Thanks. CnS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted May 2, 2008 My favorite cats are small ones we catch in early March, while water is still very cold.. Nice and firm fillets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues Sniper Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Atleast I know proper English. And yeah, when I throw up 350 lbs on bench press, one arm does seem to go up easier than the other. Proper English? "Atleast"? Ha ha, busted! And you're supposed to be able to bench your own bodyweight, sissy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 I would want to see you squat 500 lbs before I believe that. We had two guys (including myself) that would do 500 and the other guy had legs like a friggin tree stump. My speciality was upper body. benched 350 lbs, 115 lbs over what I weighed ( at the time, and being 16 years old) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
