If you live in the High Desert this place has been good to me for Cats lately:Smile:,
I also caught a 12 lber two weeks ago.

Nice fish!!!!! Which lake were you fishing???? Don't worry about giving up where you caught your big one. We caught a #15 lbs a couple of years back, they told us once we turned her in, they would release it where they saw fit!!!

The fish was caught on lake #346085
There are a lot of big catfish at jess ranch. When i started fishing there in 2012 that was the last time they stocked catfish, but here's the secret.
In 2012 if you caught any catfish over i believe was 8 LBS (I may be wrong on this weight) you had to release it back for breeding and they would give you a free fishing pass in return. Idk know how many years this rule was going on for? I seen a 18 lb and 15 lb caught there too. The 18 lb cat was when this rule was in effect, it was caught on lake #2 and released into lake #3 maybe because it was closer to the shack where it was weighed idk??
p.s. i marked with a red arrow where i caught this fish and the 12 pounder two weeks ago, BOTH fish were RELEASED back into the lake.
