      I believe its a white Catfish but I could be mistaken. Main options really are a channel cat or a Brown bullhead with I'm sure it is not.

      Couldn't keep the hybrids off us trying to get walleye for the contest. Arty's wife bam even got a pretty big channel cat haha. Ended up with only 2 walleye ...more arty caught but one was big enough to have a chance at 2nd or third, we'll see

      Water is beautiful everything was at a nice 63-64 degrees definitely beginning to see water clarity improve too. I've just had no luck with the hybrids found ...more a few schools on the sonar but couldn't get a bite on the herring. I gotta figure out how to properly fish the chicken liver it looks like
