How to . .

Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Spotter/assistant
Gloves (optional)

Step 1
Locate your hunting ground: flathead catfish lay their eggs in holes that they find in rivers and lakes, most often under brush, rocks and logs. Speak with local fishers and noodlers to garner information where catfish are most readily found, and recruit an experienced spotter/assistant to help you. Check your local laws to make sure that noodling is legal in your state.

Step 2
Wade into the water often in little more than your shorts, to minimize the risk of getting caught on roots, branches or rocks. With one hand, feel for holes underwater that might potentially harbor a catfish - you may have to dive, after taking a deep breath. When you find a prospective catfish site, stick your hand deep inside the hole. If catfish eggs have been laid inside, the male catfish will be standing guard over them - ready to attack any and all intruders.

Step 3
Let whatever is in the hole chomp completely onto your hand. With any luck, it will be a catfish - although it may also be a snapping turtle, a beaver, or snake, who often move into holes formerly owned by catfish. In noodling, you hope for the best, although many long-time noodlers are missing a finger or two from inevitable bad luck.

Step 4
With the catfish firmly latched onto your hand and arm, reach your arm even further into the catfish's mouth. Take hold of the gill cover, and heave the catfish out of the hole. This requires not only significant strength, but significant swimming ability. Your spotter/assistant should watch carefully, to ensure that the catfish's weight and struggle doesn't begin to drown you.

Step 5
Lug the catfish to shore or a nearby boat, Many catfish can weigh several dozen pounds. With the help of your assistant, pry open the catfish's mouth, and remove it off your arm. Treat the bite marks afterwards: catfish teeth are tiny and sharp, and can cause serious injury from either the initial bite or subsequent infection. Non-catfish bites should be treated accordingly.

The Success Snowball

You know how when somebody gets on a streak and things just start to flow for them, its like their success cant be stopped once it starts? Thats what I call the snowball of success. Remember back in 1993-94 when Vladi Divac pulled down a staggering 829 rebounds? Once he started he just couldn't be stopped. Then once he was rollin, the fame came and his success just grew and grew, and now lives as a legend in all our hearts. So here is how you can start your own success snowball. Just like the first million is the hardest to make, so is the first lake record catch, but here is the secret to getting it started. All you need to do is start a fish farm, follow these steps to get going . .

1. COMPLETE and give CORRECT MAILING ADDRESS, including ZIP CODE and email address if available to the wildlife department.

2. PHONE NUMBER, with AREA CODE. If you do not have a phone it would be helpful to list the phone number of a relative or close neighbor who can relay a message to you or call you to a phone.

3. Complete legal description of land where pond is located. SECTION, RANGE, and TOWNSHIP.

4. COUNTY where pond is located. This facilitates routing your application to the proper hatchery.

5. SURFACE ACRE size of pond. If you are in doubt, see item #1 of requirements.

6. Date pond was constructed, if and when it was stocked. This information is needed to further identify your pond.

7. Are there ANY fish in the pond? IF THIS IS TRUE, please do not proceed because IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE STOCKED WITH FISH FROM THE WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT.

8. Fish are provided based on the following lengths and STOCKING RATE: largemouth bass 2" (100 per acre), channel catfish 2" (100 per acre) and bluegill 1" (500 per acre). However no more than 3 ponds or 10 acres total worth of fish will be provided to any one applicant. If larger fish are desired we will provide a list of commercial fish producers.

9. SIGNATURE. Must be signature of land owner or lessee.

10. FISHING LICENSE NUMBER. As stated in #5 of Requirements, you must have a current Utah Fishing License.

11. Return EACH APPLICATION by MAY 31 of the year that you want fish.

Once you have legal abilities to grow your own fish all you have to to is grow a couple monster trouts and bring them with you to the lake, take a few pictures of you with the fish in different areas and claim that you caught them there. Once you have caught that first big one the rest will start rolling in, I guarantee it!

Good luck and send me some picks of your lake record catches!

45 More Days

If I am not mistaken you, just like I, woke up this morining pissed that you had to face another day in the hell we call our jobs. There are 45 more days left till the trip and that is a long ways away, so hopefully today I can give you some tips on keeping your level of pump at its maximum when the blessed day is so far in the distance. One reader asks. . .

"I want to stay pumped, but its so hard with so many things dragging me down, do you have any tips on staying amp'ed in these times of such turmoil?"

Well Jason, there are some things you definitly want to avoid, first and formost that is work. You may go to your job but, the worst thing you can do is actually work while you are there. That is a guaranteed deflate. Just try surfing the internet or making a blog or something that keeps you typing so it soundsl like your doing a lot, but really aren't.

Second, try to avoid living a life of safety. You gotta live on the edge and keep the adrenaline up to stay pumped in desprate times. Try not filling your gas tank up for a couple days after the gas light comes on. I put in only a quarter tank yesterday, .84 cents worth, just to keep the feeling of "when am I going to run out" alive.

Third, go by the meat department in the grocery store and visualize that you caught the big fish they have laying there in the ice, then picture yourself eating it fresh out of the lake. I do it!

Fourth, always read the DPU. That is the most essential. I am available anywhere you can access the internet. Read it as often as you check your facebook and you should be fine.

Hope that helped, let me now leave you with these . . .
