Hey Meanie! Remember this one?

This is a thread for old photographs and old memories. This one was first posted (at another forum) 3 years ago, come next week.

Cadd, I went back to Hoolieboard and found that ^^^ pic. I really miss those guys. I joined in Aug '10 specifically to play in the photo scavenger hunt. I'm still passing out my business cards I won that season!

Here is my first entry for points on Aug 15.

@meanstreak

That you with the big catfish, right?

 

[meanstreak]

Yes sir. That is me.

Isn't that a huge paddlefish?

 

[meanstreak]

It is actually a paddlefish, also called a spoonbill. It is a prehistoric member of the catfish family. That one weighed 55 lbs. 100 pounds is not unusual in the lakes around here.

Meanie, I think a hundred pound catfish could pull us around in my little boat for about 2 hours.

I've caught some big old carp but the only catfish I ever caught were little babes about 2 to 3 lb.

Cadd, a fish pulling a fishing boat would be as green as it gets. We have big carp in the lake as well. When I was a kid in Missouri we used to catch Carp. I have not caught one since, but see them in the shallows all the time.
