My father, my mentor, who retired and moved to nowheresville (aka Mansfield), Ga decided to "rub it in" a little with an email to me today.

He wanted to stress that he only fished an hour today at a pond across the street from his retirement home. Using chicken livers and within one hour, he caught three catfish. The first two were pregnant so he released them. One weighed in at 5 lbs and the other at 7. The one he kept for dinner weighed in at 9.6 and is pictured below.

P.S. He wanted to express his condolences for us sorry saps that spend $20 to fish and (if lucky) catch our limits of stockers at local pay lakes.

Enjoy the pic

P.P.S. Notice the 36 foot inheritance, errr I mean travel trailer in the background.

Nice catfish!
That would be awesome to have a little place to walk to and fish whenever.

It's literally right across the street from him and he hardly goes. There's a larger lake only about a 10 minute walk from his house too that's loaded with fish of that caliber.

Nah, it's a great place to visit, but I'd eventually die of boredom even with all of the lakes in the area. You seriously have to drive like a half hour just to get to the nearest Wal-Mart.
